The MB.81 was a French military aircraft built by Société des Avions Marcel Bloch as a flying ambulance since it was designed to carry one passenger in or out of a stretcher. Developed in response to a government-sponsored competition in support of the new doctrine of aerial first aid it was employed exclusively in the overseas colonies specifically Morocco and Syria. Unlike the MB.80 prototype the MB.81 had a closed cockpit and a somewhat larger cargo space.
