The Nord 1750 Norelfe was a French helicopter from the 1950s, designed by Jean Cantinieau and produced by Nord Aviation, accommodating three occupants.
Development
Derived from the earlier Cantinieau project, the Matra-Cantinieau MC-101A, the 1750 Norelfe incorporated a single main rotor system with anti-torque managed through an adjustable duct located at the tailboom's extremity. It was powered by a Turbomeca Artouste turboshaft engine, with its maiden flight occurring on 28 December 1954, one of only two units constructed.
Both helicopters along with the design rights were transferred by Nord Aviation to Spain's Aerotécnica, where they were renamed Aerotécnica AC-13A. Aerotécnica later expanded on this design, creating a larger five-seat model called the Aerotécnica AC-14, which was eventually incorporated into service by the Ejército del Aire (Spanish Air Force).
