Design and development
Similar in configuration to the company's earlier Comte AC-4, the Comte AC-8 was designed as a light transport for five passengers. It incorporated a braced high-wing monoplane wing, with a conventional tail unit and fixed tailwheel landing gear. The enclosed cabin had accommodation for a pilot and five passengers. The aircraft was powered by either a Wright J-6 or Lorraine radial engine.
Only three aircraft were built.

gollark: I see.
gollark: Was this not deducible from the fact that it worked without your changes anyway?
gollark: Don't add 1 at the end. You can see that your first one works without it so *why*?
gollark: After i += 1 occurs it'll just do that and your change will be ignored.
gollark: Every iteration of the loop it calls next() on the range object returned from range() and binds the return value of that to the variable i.
