Единственный экземпляр
The 2200 was the 32nd French aircraft prototype to be rolled out in 1949 alone, showing the frantic pace of aeronautical development in the country in the immediate post-war period.
The Nord 2200 and the VG.90-01 at Bretigny-sur-Orge in early 1950. The VG.90 has the modified shortened rudder and fairing atop the fin and its new mainwheel doors. The Nord 2200 is still in its first configuration. No armament was fitted to the sole example, and it is not clear where the 30mm cannon would have been located.
The Nord 2200 in its penultimate configuration, with the final iteration of the rear fuselage, airbrakes fitted to either side of the aft fuselage, a taller fin with reinstated dorsal fin and lip incorporated into the nose air intake, intended to accommodate the future installation of radar equipment. In 1952 French experimental aircraft registrations were changed from F-Wxxx to F-Zxxx, and the 2200 was accordingly re-registered F-ZWRG.
The NC.1080 in its final configuration at Melun-Villaroche in early 1950, fitted with an extended wing with ailerons (and sans endplates), tall fin, shorter tailpipe and "pig’s ears" on the tailplanes. The sole Nord 2200, parked alongside, is also visible.
