Design and development

The Norazur was a high-wing cantilever monoplane with a retractable tricycle landing gear. [1] Powered by two wing-mounted Potez piston engines in pusher configuration. [1] It had an enclosed cabin for ten passengers or freight. [1]

Designed to meet a post-war requirement for a light transport and training aircraft the Norazur first flew at Les Mureaux on 30 April 1947. [2] An additional prototype with 290 kW (390 hp) Béarn 6D-07 engines is believed to have been built. [2] With other similar designs available the type did not enter production. [2]
