Model Variants for buyers to consider when purchasing a Boisavia Mercurey
The Boisavia Mercurey family includes several recognised variants that differ mainly by engine installation and intended role. Early prototypes appeared as the B.60 Mercurey with a Renault engine, followed by the B.601 Mercurey powered by a Lycoming O-435.
