The Nord 1400 Noroit was a French reconnaissance and air-sea rescue flying boat designed and built by Nord Aviation for the French Navy. It was an amphibian with a cantilever gull wing, a two-step hull, a tail with three vertical surfaces, a crew of seven and a large rear cabin for rescue work, with an engine on each wing leading edge. The prototype first flew as a flying boat on 6 January 1949 with two Gnome-Rhône 14R radial engines, and a retractable tailwheel undercarriage was fitted for amphibious operation. The production Nord 1402 used Arsenal 12H engines, 21 were built, and the last was delivered to the French Navy in 1956.
