The Nord 1500 Noréclair was a French twin-engined prototype dive bomber and anti-submarine aircraft built at the end of the Second World War. It was meant to operate from land bases and from an aircraft carrier and to carry torpedoes, missiles and bombs, and its armament included a 450 millimetre torpedo or two tonnes of bombs and anti-submarine charges plus rear-mounted 20 millimetre cannon. Two Gnome-Rhône 14R radial engines powered it. The first prototype flew on 29 August 1947, but testing exposed many problems, and after heavy criticism the project was abandoned. It should not be confused with the Nord 1500 Griffon, a ramjet research fighter.
