Manufacturer: Sud-Ouest Aviation (SNCASO)

Model: SO-9200

Name: Gorgone

Type:

Date: 1952

Status: Experimental

Country: France

Service: Armée de l'Air

Designation: SO-9200



Synopsis:

In the 1950s, the French minister of Defense came up with the strange idea that the Armée de l'Air ought to take the best from every experimental prototype around and create a composite aircraft that would serve as the basis for their future fighter/bomber. Thus was born the SNCASO (aka "Sud-Ouest") SO-9200 Gorgone.


Elaboration:

The Gorgone is a mash-up of several post-war French jet prototypes.
