"Nord 510

Mentioned here for completeness, the Nord 510 was an

unmanned shrouded propeller observation and reconnaissance

system designed under the French army program Orphée

(“Orpheus”). The platform was tethered and tension was

maintained by a cable winch mounted on a truck – this

regulated altitude and provided the stability. Service ceiling

was 300 m (1,000 ft). The power plant was a Turboméca

Astazou turboshaft with 390 kW (523 hp). Empty weight was

450 kg (990 lb). Three prototypes were built at Nord’s

Châtillon plant, and were tested by SNECMA at Melum-

Villaroche between 1966 and 1968."

 

There you go. :thumbup:

seems the program didn't even see the observation system developed ? i made you searched a bit , got my revenge :P

^^^ :D

Apparently the program didn`t go beyond the experimental phase. Probably that`s why the info about it is so scarce. And that also brought the success of the question ;)

Can't be that big, considering the small nozzle... eastern or western design?

 

Really wanna guess this, as i got a really good one :D

 

Hmm I`m not telling if it`s eastern or western. But I`ll give you another clue, it uses a General Electric engine.

 

Javelin AJT? Single engine version?

 

No, it`s not Javelin AJT. And yes, it`s a single engine aircraft.

Ok last clues. Not that much more can be said for a trainer aircraft. It`s a subsonic trainer aircraft. Not in serial production (at least i couldn`t find any info stating the opposite). First flight somewhere in the 1994-2009 interval :D

Ok i`m giving you the name of the aircraft from the last question along with the original picture and a video. It`s a polish design - EM-10 Bielik. It really wasn`t that hard, I`ve given much harder riddles before.

For a compensation, of the next one more than 1 have been built :D I`m sure you`ll find it really fast.
