What industrial group was behind Aviméta?

Aviméta, whose full name was Société pour la Construction d'Avions Métallique, grew out of the aeronautical department of the arms manufacturer Schneider-Creusot. The frame and corrugated skin of the Aviméta 88 were made from Alferium, an aluminium-iron alloy developed by Schneider. Development of that aircraft was halted when the official competition for a two-seat fighter-reconnaissance aircraft was cancelled.

The Aviméta 121, sometimes ambiguously designated the Aviméta 21, was a high-wing monoplane braced with struts above the fuselage, of conventional configuration. Its construction was all-metal, unusual for the time, using the Alférium alloy. It was powered by two W12 piston engines mounted in nacelles on the wings' leading edge. These engines drove four-blade tractor propellers. The pilot sat in an open cockpit, while the bomb-aimer had an enclosed position in the nose. Defensive armament included two open gun positions, one in the nose and one behind the cockpit. The landing gear was fixed, with a tailskid, and its main units were enclosed in large aerodynamic fairings.

The Aviméta 132 was a trimotor monoplane transport for eight passengers designed and built by Aviméta. It was the first all-metal French aircraft, though only one example was built.
