The Arsenal VG 70 was a research aircraft flown in France shortly after World War II to assist development of high-speed jet fighters. A captured German Junkers Jumo 004 turbojet was built into a highly streamlined high-wing monoplane with all-swept flying surfaces. The sermi-circular jet intake was located under the fuselage.

The Arsenal VG-80, a projected development powered by a single Rolls-Royce Nene turbojet engine was not proceeded with.
