The Nord 2100 Norazur was a 1940s French civil transport monoplane designed and built at Courbevoie near Paris by SNCAN.[1][2]
Design and development
The Norazur was a high-wing cantilever monoplane with a retractable tricycle landing gear.[1] Powered by two wing-mounted Potez piston engines in pusher configuration.[1] It had an enclosed cabin for ten passengers or freight.[1]
Designed to meet a post-war requirement for a light transport and training aircraft the Norazur first flew at Les Moreuax on 30 April 1947.[2] An additional prototype with 290 kW (390 hp) Béarn 6D-07 engines is believed to have been built.[2] With other similar designs available the type did not enter production.[2]
