The SNCAC NC.1071 was the first French jet trainer aircraft. It didn't go in series.
history
The NC.1071 was developed by the Société Nationale de Constructions Aéronautiques du Center . It was created by converting the second prototype of the torpedo bomber NC.1070 , whose piston engines were replaced by jet engines. The aim of the development was a trainer for the training of the porter squadrons of the French Navy . On May 8, 1951, during a high-speed flight ( Mach 0.7) , the aircraft suffered considerable deformations at the junction between the vertical stabilizers and the engine nacelles. The plane landed safely, but was not repaired, but handed over to an aircraft mechanics school. Series production did not materialize.
Projects based on the NC.1071 for an all-weather fighter (NC.1072) and a fighter-bomber (NC.1072) were also not implemented.
construction
The NC.1071 was a mid-wing dual rudder and highly attached tailplane . The horizontal stabilizer was placed on the engine nacelles, the engine nacelles were almost as long as the fuselage. The landing gear was designed as a nose wheel landing gear. The main landing gears were pulled into the engine nacelles. The wings were tri-fold to facilitate the installation of the aircraft on aircraft carriers .
