MAY 5TH, 1949 F LTGH T 519 The Salon at a Glance military trainer (Argus 410 engine), complete with arma- ment. Simple servicing and low maintenance costs are some recompense for its plain appearance. RYAN.—"Mentor" is the name adopted for the trainer publicized on the Ryan stand. S.I.P.A.—The S.12 tandem trainer, based on a German Arado design, and supplied in quantity to the French Air Ministry, is shown by a model. S.N.C.A. DU CENTRE.—Models of the N.C.1080 deck- landing single-Nene fighter (to fly this month), N.C.270 twin-Nene medium bomber, and N.C.1072 twin-boom night and all-weather fighter, are illustrative of military develop- ments by Centre. The N.C.1080 has raked wings and tail, and closely resembles the Supermarine 510. A develop- ment of the N.C.1071 jet trainer (which first flew on October 12th last year), the N.C.1072 has a thinner wing, and should attain a maximum speed between 560 and 600 m.p.h. S.N.C.A. DU NORD.—Wind-tunnel models of the N.1601, N.2500 and N.2200 are displayed. Respectively these are Model of Breguet anti-submarine aircraft with re- tractable R.'P. installation. a twin-Derwent research aircraft, a twin-boom military transport resembling the Fairchild Packet, and a carrier-borne fighter-bomber, the Nene turbojet of which is fed by a flattened nose intake. The N.2100 twin-engined pusher high-wing monoplane, an actual example of which is shown, can be equipped as a military crew trainer. S.N.C.A. DU SUD-EST.—A half-scale wind- tunnel model of the S.E.2410 twin-jet fighter- bomber is mounted prominently in the Grande Nef. The Nenes are mounted one above the other and are staggered to save space; they are fed by a single intake in the top of the- •...-. fuselage, and although no crew position is indi- cated, the cockpit will be in the nose. A proposal exists for a version with two T.R.1008 turbojets, installed side by side. •as* The compact Marcel Dassault M.D.4S0 Ouragan intercepter, with Hispano-built Rolls-Royce Nene. S.N.C.A. DU SUD-OUEST.—The S.O.M2 (a singte- Derwent .research model for the S.O.4000 twin-Nene bomber), and the second prototype of the S.O.6020 Espadon long-range fighter (Nene) are shown, together with illus- trations of the S.O.6ooo Triton side-by-side jet trainer (Nene) and S.O.8ooo Narval twin-boom deck-landing fighter, with Arsenal 12H piston engine. Features of the M2 include a flush cockpit with retractable windscreen ; lateral intakes ; a three-wheel tandem undercarriage, with wing-tip skids and jettisonable lateral wheels for take-off ; and full-span spoilers for lateral control. The S.O.6020 is a mid-wing design with a fuselage of remarkably large size compared with the raked mid-wings. The intake for the Nene is under the fuselage. A speed of about 640 m.p.h. is expected. The belt boxes for the six 20 mm guns are installed approximately over the e.g. Designed for quantity production in shadow factories, the S.O. 6020 Espadon is a very clean jet fighter with ventral intake for the Hispano-built Nene turbojet. The first prototype flew on November 12th, 1948. Sectioned model of Fokker's S.I4 Derwent-powered jet trainer with side-by-side ejector seats. VICKERS-ARMSTRONGS.—Two models of the Attacker naval fighter are being compared with a miniature Type 510 (development of the Attacker with swept wing and tail sur- faces). The 510 is seen to have leading-edge slats. Another model shows the new Varsity crew trainer (two'Hercules) in which—compared with the Valetta—the longer fuselage, nosewheel undercarriage and cleaner engine cowlings are immediately apparent. New features of the Seagull amphibian are disclosed by another model: a central fin has been added for easier water manoeuvring and the super- structure is of different form, with undercut trailing edge, to eliminate buffeting near the stall. Commercial Aircraft BRKGUET.—Looming large near the main entrance is a mainplane for the new Breguet double-deck, four-engined freighter or 100-passenger "aerobus"—the B.761. Of 44 metric tons all-up weight, this type is shown by models
