The African Condor features elongated wings for better lift and low-speed stability during aerial photography, and French radial engines (either Clerget 14F diesels or Gnome-Rhône 14Ms). Passenger capacity compared to the Serie-400 is reduced by three seats to increase the range slightly and provide for the installation of an aerial survey camera.

The aircraft are used to fly survey parties to and from remote locations as well as conduct aerial photo-mapping, in order to assist in the development of agricultural programs. In 1944, Air France ordered fifty-six Serie-410 for construction by AIAA, for use in Africa.
