Designed during World War Two by Pierre Satre, SNCASE SE.2100 revealed promising performance, but its career was fairly short.

The SE.2100-01 "tailless" monoplane completed its test programme without, it would appear, ever carrying its allotted experimental registration F-WBBZ. The photographs show its clean lines, interrupted only by the fixed tricycle undercarriage. Aileron and elevator controls were combined in "elevons" on the trailing edge of the wing. Spot welding and stamping were widely used in its construction as it was intended to apply methods used in the motor car industry but lack of sales interest prevented manufacture of a production run.

In the centre of this view, the Breguet G11E helicopter had two contra-rotating three-blade rotors and a tailplane mounted atop a single tall fin. It had a long fuselage with streamlined nose and a fixed spatted undercarriage. Its 240 hp 9-cyl Potez 9E radial engine was not yet fitted and during the Show the rotors were turned over slowly by a 4 hp electric motor. Breguet's helicopter experience went back to 1907 when the Breguet-Richet helicopter became the first to lift itself off the ground, although it was not able to fly forward under control. Three prototypes of the G11E were built but it did not go into production. One of them, F-WFKC is preserved in the Musee de l'Air.
Top left of the group is SNCAN Norecrin retractable undercarriage cabin tourer monoplane F-BBKC and inset is F-BBBO, the Nord 1201-01 prototype. Originally a 2-seater, F-BBBO was soon flying with four up and 1201 c/n 4 F-BBKC was made into the 1203-01 prototype 4-seater with 135 hp Regnier 4LO 4-cyl inverted in-line engine with a normal rating of 145 hp at 2350 rpm. The Norecrin shows its relationship to the Me 108 which was built in France during the war, and to the tricycle Me 208 developed from it and built as the Nord 1101 Noralpha, also on display as F-BBCM c/n 8. The Norecrin was very successful and over 400 were produced. Nord 1203 c/n 373 F-BICY is preserved in the Musee de l'Air.
Top right and inset is the SE.2100 "tailless" monoplane prototype, a very neat side-by-side cabin 2-seater with a fixed tricycle undercarriage. The 140 hp Renault 4Pei 4-cyl inverted in-line engine was mounted as a direct drive pusher with a 2-blade Legere propeller. Some problems were experienced with the engine cooling air supply from the underside intake. The wing had endplate fins and rudders, 30° sweep, and plain flaps occupied the trailing edge space inboard of the ailerons. It was built for aerodynamic research but afterwards it was proposed to develop it for private owner use. However, it seems this came to nothing, perhaps because the limited cabin space which, while suitable for experimental use, might have been considered cramped for travel and leisure. The SE.2100 was shown unregistered.
The model prominently displayed in the foreground with false registration F-AJOQ was of the 141 ft span Breguet 761 Deux Ponts (two decks) which soon filled the spot vacated by the Cormoran with the same engines. First prototype F-WFAM first flew on 1.3.49. Production 763 Provence aircraft had P&W R-2800-CA18 2400 hp 14-cyl 2-row radial engines and 12 civil and 15 military examples were built.
