What is the CM170 , super magister, CM173 or potez 94

This is the CM173 or Potez 94.

A lot of ads and articles are wrong. The CM173 was produced at only one and only one prototype.
He was equiped with 2 ejection seats and had Marbore Super VI engines with 530 kgs of thrust or 1170 lbs of thrust per engine. (derated Marbore VI)
Misprint in the books calling for 4800 kgs of thrust per engine or 10560 lbs of thrust per engine and copied from article to article.

With a total of 21120 lbs of thrust the CM173 would had the double power of the Mig 21 fishbed !!!!.

Be realistic and lets go back to earth.

What is called the super magister is simply the Fouga CM170 or CM170-2 with Marbore VI engines with 1056 lbs of thrust per engine produced at 137 units and used in France , Lebanon , Ireland .


The other Fouga CM170 have Marbore II engines with 400 kgs of thrust or 880 lbs of thrust per engine.


Now you know .
