The Fauvel AV.10 was a tailless light aircraft built in France by Charles Fauvel. A two-seater side-by-side, equipped with a 75 hp engine, which first flew in 1935. Designed by Charles Fauvel, it was his first powered aircraft, designed from the outset as that, to have been realised. In 1936, it had been exhibited at the 25th Salon de L'Aéronautique at the Grand-Palais of Paris. The AV-10 was a one-off design and it disappeared in 1940. It is believed to have been taken away by German troops.
