Summary edit

Description The SNCASE SE.212 Durandal in flight. The Durandal was a French jet and rocket mixed-power fighter aircraft which first flew on 20 April 1956. Designed in parallel with the lightweight fighter-bomber projects destined for the 1953 NATO Fighter Competition that resulted in the winner, the Fiat G.91 and a number of "also-rans." The SE.212 arose out of the same thinking but devolved into a dedicated point-defence interceptor. Despite promising results in tests, the project was cancelled.
