The Nord 1700 Norélic, also written SNCAN N.1700 Norélic, was a French two-seat single-rotor helicopter with several unusual control features, of which only one prototype was built. It had no cyclic pitch control in the cockpit; small servo airfoils on rods controlled the pitch of the two-blade rotor automatically, and roll came from sideways movement of the hub. Instead of a tail rotor it used a shrouded pusher propeller that blew air through four rotatable vertical vanes to balance torque and steer, and the propeller also gave forward thrust. A 119 kilowatt Mathis radial engine sat behind the crew. It first flew on 17 November 1947, but after two accidents development ended, and a smaller single-seat successor, the Nord 1710, was also abandoned.
