The Farman NC.470, also known as the Centre N.C-470 after Farman was nationalised to form SNCAC, was a French twin-engined floatplane designed as a crew trainer for the French Navy. Farman Aviation Works designed it in 1935 as a private venture, and a production order for ten followed on 8 March 1936, intended to reuse floats, propellers and engines left over from retired F.168 torpedo bombers. The prototype first flew with a temporary wheeled undercarriage on 27 December 1937. It was a twin-engined high-winged monoplane of mixed metal and wood with two radial engines on low stub wings and a crew of six, armed with a single machine gun and up to 200 kilograms of bombs. Production reached 34, and in 1939 a few were drafted into coastal reconnaissance, until Germany captured fourteen in 1942.
