Summary
| Description | A Breguet 1001 Taon in flight. The Taon (en: Gadfly, but also an anagram of NATO or the French version OTAN) was designed to meet a 1953 NATO requirement. It was a small mid-wing monoplane with swept wings and tail surfaces and retractable tricycle undercarriage, powered by a Bristol Orpheus BOr.3 turbojet. The company was contracted to build three prototypes, the first aircraft flying on the 26 July 1957. The second aircraft incorporated improvements and had a slightly longer fuselage. Development was discontinued and only two aircraft were built due to unsatisfacoty performance. |
