Twin fins and rudders were introduced on the NC.853 which first flew 15.3.48 and won, jointly with the Sipa 901, a French Air Ministry design competition for a 2-seat trainer/tourer with contracts for 100 aircraft. Production was then standardized on two variants, the NC.853 with Minie 4DC-32 and the NC.854 with the same airframe but with 65 hp Continental A-65 (on photo, NC.854 c/n 13 F-BFIB of the Aero Club Air France). The NC.853-01 prototype was F-WEPG, the NC.854-01 prototype was F-BDZI, and numbers of NC.853 were converted to NC.854 by engine change.

The prototype NC.840-01 Chardonneret's most direct development was the NC.856 Norvigie (photo), an AOP for the Armee de Terre with the 145 hp Regnier 4LO-4 four-cyl inverted in-line engine and variable pitch propeller. Major differences from the NC.840 were the tailwheel undercarriage, more suitable for short landings on unprepared surfaces, and a twin fin tail unit.
