Nord Norélan

Military Aircraft

The Nord 1221 Norélan was a French three-seat training monoplane designed and built by Nord Aviation in the 1940s. It was a single-engined low-wing cantilever monoplane with a distinctive large dihedral on the wings, first flown on 30 June 1948. It was meant to have a retractable tricycle undercarriage, but the design was changed to a fixed tailwheel gear. Several variants with different engines were built, including the 1222 with a Régnier inline engine, the 1223 with an Argus inverted V engine and the 1226 engine testbed with a Potez inline engine, yet no production orders followed.
