The Arsenal VG 70 was a single seat monoplane research aircraft flown in France shortly after World War II to assist in the development of high speed jet fighters.
Lacking an indigenous turbojet engine, the aircraft was fitted with a German Junkers Jumo 004.
Unlike most jet powered aircraft of the period, the swept wing was wooden as was the tail structure.
The under powered VG 70 made its maiden flight in 1948, but only flew five times before the program was terminated the following year.
