Although ''French Made'', it's performance was considered ''lackluster'', with eventual Government Contracts going to British and German Made Models. As a result, this possible effective Fighter Jet only saw (2) Production Models made. Crewed by (1), The ''Taon'' was 40-feet in length with a fixed wingspan of 23-feet. Power was derived from (1) Siddeley Bristol Turbojets, capable of 4,850-IBF of Thrust. Rated combat speed was over 700-mph. Armament (non-Nuclear), was (4) 12.7mm Wing Machine Guns. No plans for Ordnance deployment were ever made.
