The Corvette is a small business jet, that could be mistaken for a Falcon 10 or a Falcon 20. Like those aircraft, the tail of the Corvette has a cruciform shape. In front is a dorsal fin with air inlet. All landing gears have single wheels. The cockpit windows are somewhat like those on the Gulfstream G-III, G-IV and so on. Finally tip tanks are fitted to most Corvettes.

Aérospatiale first built a prototype, designated SN600. Only one was built, which was lost during the test programme. It has a long dorsal fin with an inlet at the side. The horizontal stabiliser is attached about halfway the vertical fin.

Following the crash of the SN600 prototype Aérospa­tiale further developed the aircraft into the SN601. Compared to the SN600 it has a fuselage that is about a metre longer. The dorsal fin is shorter and has an inlet at the front. The horizontal stabiliser is mounted lower than on the SN600, at about the three quarters from the top of the vertical stabi­liser. Most SN601s have tip tanks, but not all.
