The Nord 2800 was a 1950s training monoplane designed and built in France by Nord Aviation.
The Nord 2800 was built in response to a French Air Force requirement for a military trainer to seat three people. It was a basic trainer design of all-metal construction that featured a retractable tail wheel type landing gear. Competitors to the Nord 2800 included the Dassault MD-80 ABC[2] and Morane-Saulnier MS.730. The Nord 2800 had two of the crew sitting side-by-side, with the third crewman sitting behind. Flight tests revealed controllability issues, and despite tail and rudder modifications, the Nord 2800 lost out to the MS.730.[3]
