Nord Aviation, formally the Société nationale de constructions aéronautiques Nord Aviation, was a state-owned French aircraft and missile manufacturer whose main facilities stood at Bourges airport in central France. It was created on 1 October 1954 when SNCAN took over SFECMAS, and it built the Nord Noratlas twin-boom military transport, its most successful aircraft, along with the Gerfaut and Griffon research aircraft, light trainers, observation aircraft and small cabin monoplanes such as the Norécrin and Noralpha. It also developed its own missiles, among them the SS.10 and SS.11 anti-tank weapons, the AS-30 and the Exocet, a sea-skimming anti-ship missile that became notorious in the Falklands War of 1982. On 1 March 1970 Nord Aviation merged with Sud Aviation and SEREB to form SNIAS, soon renamed Aérospatiale, which later became part of EADS.
