SNCAC is a tragical example of the catastrophic situation of the french aircraft industry in 1948...
First project was the NC-1070, a twin-engine piston-engined, naval fighter. It flew in 1947, but was too heavy for the existing carriers!
A jet derivative of this plane become the
NC-1071 (laso known as Tabouret, etagère a Géranium...)
It was the first twin-engine jet french aircraft to fly, in 1948.
NC-1070 piston-engined naval fighter.
Other program was the NC-1080, a competitor of the Arsenal VG-90 for the naval fighter program. It flew in autumn 1949.
The NC-1080 was taken over by the SNCAN (north) but tragically crashed on 7 april 1950, killing Pierre Gallay...
The NC-270 was a light-bomber program of the Canberra class, totally underpowered because of its nene engines giving only 2270 kgp each. The prototype was 80inished when the SNCAC go bankrupt in june 1949
