The Viberti Musca 1 is a 1940s Italian two-seat civil touring monoplane produced by Ali Verberti SpA of Turin.[1]
The Musca 1 was a cantilever low-wing monoplane powered by an 85 hp (63 kW) Continental C85 flat-four piston engine.[1] Named for the chief designer Franco Muscariello it had an enclosed side-by-side seating and a fixed conventional landing gear.[1] The Musca 1 started production in 1948 and in 1951 the Musca 1bis was introduced with structural improvements.[1] The company had two further variants planned but the company was dissolved around 1951.[1] Muscareillo continued development of the Musca 1, however, flying a modified version, the Musca 1 Ter powered by a Walter Micron on 15 September 1952.[2][3]
