Development
To create room for a stretcher and attendant the earlier Caudron C.282/8 design was modified with a lengthened fuselage, an improved wing and tailplane design.[1] A single-engined high-wing monoplane, the Pélican had a conventional landing gear.[1] As a touring aircraft the Pélican could carry three passengers and a total of 62 were built as both air ambulances and tourers.[1]
