The Morane-Saulnier MS.315 was a primary training monoplane designed and built
in France by Morane-Saulnier.
The MS.315 was developed from the earlier MS.300 primary trainer and related
variants and first flew in October 1932. The MS.315 is a parasol-wing monoplane
with a tailwheel, with divided main landing gear, and powered by a 135 hp (101
kW) Salmson 9Nc radial engine. A production run of 346 aircraft followed the
four prototypes (including 33 built after the Second World War). Five
high-powered MS.317/2 variants were also produced for the civil market, and a
single MS.316 was built, powered by a Régnier inverted Vee engine.
In the 1960s 40 MS.315 used as civil glider tugs were modified with a 220 hp
(164 kW) Continental W670-K radial engine and re-designated the MS.317.
