SNCAC (Aérocentre) projects

[Jemiba]

Installation of a radar not necessarily meant a crew of two. Think of the Sabre or MiG 17/19, they
were fitted radar as single seaters, too. Nevertheless, adding the role of a dedicated night fighter,
which back then was regarded as needing a second pair of eyes, may have been envisaged. But
SNCAC was offering the NC.1072 for that role, considerably bigger and certainly with a range and
loiter time those single engined designs couldn't match.

As for the NC-1080, I've taken a look at the document "Le projet PA 28 et les avions à ré-action français embarqués", which used to be available at http://www.hydroretro.net/ but it is not anymore (thankfully I downloaded it some time ago; if anybody would like to have it please send me a PM).
The document says: "La cabine pour deux hommes d’équipage doit être chauffée, étanche et dotée de respirateurs, blindée"... DEUX HOMMES means TWO MEN, so it suggests that the NC-1080 was (or was to be) a two-seater.

There migh have been projects for other variants, but the sole NC-1080 ever built, F-WFKZ, was definitely a single seater. Look at this cockpit:

For the VG 90, the type is said to have been the HS 602 (Jean Cuny "Les Avion De Combat Francais",
Tome I, Docavia).

In "Les chasseurs Dassault. Ouragan, Mysteres et Super-Mysteres" by Jean Cuny there is a photo of Hispano-Suiza HS-603 as well as a table presenting data on several aircraft guns of that period of time.

Nice find my dear Toura.

Looking very antiquated, the concept of the 3-engined transport wasn't absolutely
dead after WW II, as can be seen by the Northrop -23/25.
Here it was SNCAC, using again this old formula for the NC.300.
Some data : 3 Wasp Junior engines, max.speed 265 km/h, range with 2000kg payload
1000 km, with 2500kg 500 km, take-off run approx.500m to clear a 20m obstacle.

By the way,

there was also NC.301,but no details are known.

Hi Hesham
Here is a (slightly) better picture of the J.C.1 with the original F-WCDQ registration. This particular aircraft was indeed built by Aérocentre and J.C.1 stands for the designer Jean Chapeau. The aircraft (later F-PBCQ) had a long career and was modified several times and could now live in a museum (Le Bourget?).
A second example was the J.C.2 (F-PANO) and the third became known as C.B.10 (F-WDVL) this having been built by Mr. Chapeau and Mr. Jean Blanchet , hence CB.
Regards
