Morane Saulnier type L became very popular in Europe. In Sweden this model was built under licence, designated Thulin type D. The swedish model was later improved with streamlining of the engine cowl - fuselage and fitted with a 95 hp Thulin A rotary engine, a licence built, improved le Rhone engine.

The swedish pioneer Enoch Thulin built the aircraft under licence, but he also improved the design, e.g. adding streamlining plywood panels from the engine cowl to the rear part of the cockpit.
