The Stampe et Vertongen RSV.28/180 Type III, also known as the RSV.28-PSV was a military trainer aircraft built in Belgium to teach instrument-flying techniques. It was a response to a 1929 order from the Belgian Air Force, whose instrument-flying certification required a flight around a 100-kilometre (62 mi) triangular course and return to a point less than 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) from the start, using instruments only.
