Recognition (WEFT)

| F — Fuselage | Twin Turbomeca Gabizo engines in the mid-fuselage |
| T — Tail | Conventional |
WEFT is AircraftIQ's four-point recognition method — how it works.
Spot it by:
- Twin Turbomeca Gabizo engines in the mid-fuselage
- Swept wing and swept, straight-edged tail surfaces
- Broad fuselage with side air intakes and no area-rule waisting
It looks like a broader, longer Bréguet Taon with two engines. Its wing was about 15 per cent greater in span than the Taon.

History
It was designed to a French Air Ministry specification calling for two engines and a pressurised cockpit. It first flew on 31 March 1957 and exceeded Mach 1.
Variants
A second prototype was abandoned at 80 per cent complete. A navalised third prototype, the 1100M, was ordered but never begun.
Where you'll see it
Only one aircraft flew. The programme was cancelled before mid-1959 because of government spending cuts.
