The Nord 1601 was a French research aircraft built by Nord Aviation to study the aerodynamics of swept wings and the high-lift devices used with them. It was a mid-wing monoplane with a wing swept at 33 degrees, fitted with ailerons, spoilers, leading edge slats and trailing edge flaps, a retractable tricycle undercarriage and a Martin-Baker ejection seat in an enclosed cockpit. Two Rolls-Royce Derwent V turbojets in underslung wing nacelles powered it. Registered F-WFKK, the single aircraft first flew on 24 January 1950. A fighter version, the Nord 1600, was proposed but never built, so the 1601 remained a one-off used purely for research.
