Renard R.40
A high-altitude variant of the R.38 with a pressurised cabin which could be jettisoned in-flight with a compressed-air charge. The jettisonable cabin is connected to the fuselage by a casing in two parts (the first part connected to the cabin, the other part fixed to the airframe). Inside this casing, the flight-controls and instruments are equipped with quick-disconnects. A prototype flew on 28 November 1940 but no production was undertaken.
