The Nord 2200 was a French carrier-based jet interceptor that Nord Aviation developed in the late 1940s to meet a naval requirement of 29 March 1946 for an aircraft faster than 900 kilometres per hour. A single-seat design with swept wings, tricycle landing gear and a licence-built Rolls-Royce Nene 102 turbojet, its sole prototype first flew on 16 December 1949 but reached only 815 kilometres per hour. A fire at take-off on 24 June 1950 damaged the aircraft, the repair took almost a year, and the Aéronavale chose a licence-built de Havilland Sea Venom instead. The prototype went on to test rocket-assisted take-offs, flew for the last time on 16 June 1954 and then served as a gunnery target at Bourges.
