| | Potez 230 |
 | | While possessing a number of features in common with the earlier fighter (eg, elliptical wings), the new aircraft was of more advanced design. |
 | | Powered by a 670 hp Hispano-Suiza l2Xcrs 12-cylinder liquid-cooled engine and having proposed armament of one engine-mounted 20-mm cannon and four wing-mounted 7,5-mm machine guns, the Potez 230 was flown on 30 March 1940. |
 | | When German forces occupied Villacoublay, the sole prototype of the Potez 230 was seized and transported to Germany for examination of the wing torsion box, which, of integral construction, was the first of its type to have been flown. |
