SNCASE (abbreviated from Société nationale des constructions aéronautiques du Sud-Est) or Sud-Est was a French aircraft manufacturer. The company was formed on February 1, 1937 by the nationalization and merger of Lioré et Olivier, Potez, CAMS, Romano and SPCA (source: Wikipedia).
Here is a list of all known SNCASE models and designs. I have listed them by numerical order, not chronologically. More detail and updates will be added in the future. Feel free to add to it or correct any mistake!

Hi,
X-104 was long-range transatlantic flying boat (9 tons of cargo+ 70 passengers).
X-121 ---?.
X-220 was Super Caravelle.
X-250 was a project for airliner and powered by three Rolls-Royce/Snecma M45 jet engines.
SE-1100 was SE-200C.
SE-1300 was flying boat (not sure).
SE-2200 was a navalised version of the SE.580.
SE-2301 was developed from SE-2300.
SE-3010 was a helicopter.

Fantastic hesham, thanks! I've updated the list, which I believe is now the most complete SNCASE ever published/posted.
However I do not trust the "SE 3010" designation, as the only source I could find for it shows it was obviously a typo for "SE 3110"...
Also the "X 104" appears elsewhere on this forum as the "SE 104", which is the designation I opted to add to the list. Please let me know if this was correct.

SNCASE T-050: Tandem 2-seat touring aircraft project (Feb. 1942) and it's a twin engine 
(two 50hp Gnome & Rhône type X motorbike engines, coupled to the propeller through a two stage gearbox)

Hi,
SE-101 to SE-105 were developed from SE-100.
SE-104 flying boat was called X-104.
T-051 was two seat trainer project.
T-052 was transport project.
Tonnage; http://www.secretprojects.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,9697.0/highlight,sud-aviation.html
Moyen cargo project (not sure).
For the SE-3010,only I found it in this site;

"Tonnage" doesn't look like an aircraft's name to me... I could be wrong, but then it also seems that this project may just have been an April's Fool joke from the Aerophile blog. We need more proof of this being real I think.
hesham said:
Yes, as I said, only one source on the web (repeated in several places) but I believe it's a typo. The previous paragraph described the SE 3110 and in all logic the SE 3120 was developed from the latter. Again I could be wrong, but if the "SE 3010" had existed as a helicopter project leading to the Alouette I, I think the book (and of course all the other sources on SNCASE) would have devoted more than a passing mention to it...

I'm agree with you, Stargazer, concerning the typo:
The text describes the "SE 3120 as an improvement of the SE 3010".
It can't be true, following SNCASE designation rules.
SE 3120 can only be an improvement of the SE 3110.
And SE 3010 can only be an improvement of the SE 3000, (which was more than a project but an helicopter "derived" from the Fa-223, and 3 were built. First flight: October the 24th, 1948).
So if a SE 3010 eventually existed (as a project), it was probably a SE 3000 with another engine in place of the original BMW Bramo Fafnir 323R-2.
Thanks Hesham for the link to McGowen's book "Helicopters, an illustrated history of their impact".

I would like to point out a frequently seen error:
CASSEUR was the SNCASE proposal for the SSBT projetct (Sol-Sol Balistique Tactique): a 100-km range solid rocket. It was never built. Its solid motor was used on the Agate test rocket.
SE 4500 was a SNCASE ramjet (an enlarged version of the SE 4200) intended to carry a 700-kg bomb at a distance of 130-km.

Thanks a lot cardonet for clarifying that point. I must say that going through that part of the designations, I came across a source which seemed to indicate the two as separate projects but I wasn't sure. This makes it crystal clear now!

From "The SE 1500 : Preliminary French Missile Tests" by Philippe Jung, IAA-94-IAA2.2.621
The SE 1500 series were air-launched test vehicles :
1500 unguided, effect of explosions, 10 to 200 m from the vehicle (1946)
1501 unguided target (1948)
1502 unguided target (1950)
1502M Navy recoverable target (1953)
1503 turbojet powered (1953)
1510 guided and recoverable (1948)
1511 test of optical guidance (1952)
1521 experimental flying bomb (1949)
1522 recoverable target (1952)
1523 Navy operational recoverable target (1953)
1524 Air Force operational recoverable target (1953)
1531 rocket powered (1952)
Stargazer2006 said:
In his paper Philippe Jung specify that neither the SE 1520 nor the SE 1530 were flown... but some were built.
5 SE 1520 were modified into SE 1502M and 5 into SE 1523.
7 SE 1530 were modified into SE 1522 and 2 into SE 1523.

Hi,
Mr. Pierre Renoux designed before leaving the SNACSE company,a seven helicopter projects,
they are X-310A,B,C,D,E,F and G,the X-310G equipped with a turbine Atrouste engine,and
redesigned as SE.3130.

they said; X-216 Fonceur was experimental,and may be they meant ,experimental aircraft ?.

Hi,
by the way,the Fonceur is the original name to X-116,and for X-216 Fonceur,I think it
was a light transport aircraft version of it.

Stargazer,
the SNCASE company used two main series,the SE and X,the X was generally for experimental
aircraft and projects,when ant aircraft from X series success,they re-named into SE series,such
as X-212 became SE-212,and X-116 became SE-116.

hesham, you make it sound like I'm ignorant or I can't read. I didn't ask for an explanation of the SNCASE system (this is fairly well known and already discussed in this topic!). I questioned the association of "X.116" with the name Fonceur. To me the X.116/SE.116 was the Voltigeur, not the Fonceur. Only the X.216 was the Fonceur.
Now if you have any evidence of the name Fonceur ever being used for the "116" slot, please provide it.

Stargazer,
you claim that I said; the X-116 was not the first designation of the SE 116 Voltigeur,but I don't
said that,I said the name "Fonceur" was the original name to X-116,and the X-116 was the first
designation to SE 116 Voltigeur.

Translation of the article:
NOTES:
NOTES:
- hesham was right about the type first being called Fonceur before changing to Voltigeur. Cuny says he doesn't know the reason for that change. One can speculate that Fonceur ("go-ahead type, "dasher" or "heavy hitter") is a more combative word than Voltigeur ("outfielder" or "outrider") and might have therefore sounded more adapted to the SE 216.
- I couldn't accurately translate "tir en retraite" (literally "shooting in retreat", which means basically shooting rearwards after taking over the target).
