The SCAN 20 was a 1940s French flying-boat training monoplane designed and built by Société de Constructions Aéro-Navales de Port-Neuf (SCAN). The prototype was built in secret in 1941. It was hidden until the liberation of France and first flown in 1945.
The SCAN 20 was designed to meet a French Air Ministry requirement for a small flying-boat trainer. The SCAN 20 was a high-wing cantilever monoplane flying-boat with strut-mounted floats under each wing. It had twin fin with rudders on a raised tailplane and an enclosed cockpit with side-by-side seating for two. Built in secret during 1941 it was not flown until after the liberation of France in October 1945. The prototype had a single 425 hp (317 kW) Béarn 6D inline engine strut-mounted above the wing. An order for 30 aircraft with a more powerful engine was placed for the French Navy but only 23 were delivered.
