The Nord 2100 Norazur was a French military transport aircraft from the 1940s, designed and constructed by SNCAN at their Courbevoie facility near Paris.
Design and development
This aircraft utilized a high-wing, cantilever monoplane layout and featured retractable tricycle landing gear. Propulsion was provided by two Potez piston engines mounted on the wings in a pusher arrangement. The enclosed cabin was designed to hold up to ten passengers or cargo.
Conceived to fulfill the post-World War II requirement for light transport and training planes, its maiden flight took place at Les Mureaux on 30 April 1947. A second prototype, reportedly powered by Béarn 6D-07 engines, was also constructed. Despite these developments, the Norazur did not proceed to production due to competition from comparable aircraft.
