The first design was judged underpowered, so the team enlarged it and hung a pair of small Turbomeca Marbor\u00e9 turbojets on it. From the Fouga CM.8 research glider it inherited the feature everyone remembers: the distinctive butterfly, or V, tail. A conventional tail was tried and found aerodynamically inferior at speed.<\/p>\r\n<div style=\"background:#f5f5f5;padding:20px 24px;margin:24px 0;border-radius:8px\"><p style=\"margin:0 0 10px;font-weight:700;font-size:15px;letter-spacing:.04em;color:#5C91FF\">DATOS R\u00c1PIDOS<\/p><table style=\"width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;font-size:15px\"><tr><td style=\"padding:6px 14px 6px 0;font-weight:600;color:#333;vertical-align:top;white-space:nowrap\">Tipo<\/td><td style=\"padding:6px 0;color:#444\">Avi\u00f3n de entrenamiento a reacci\u00f3n biplaza \/ avi\u00f3n de ataque ligero<\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"padding:6px 14px 6px 0;font-weight:600;color:#333;vertical-align:top;white-space:nowrap\">Primer vuelo<\/td><td style=\"padding:6px 0;color:#444\">23 July 1952<\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"padding:6px 14px 6px 0;font-weight:600;color:#333;vertical-align:top;white-space:nowrap\">Central el\u00e9ctrica<\/td><td style=\"padding:6px 0;color:#444\">2 x Turbomeca Marbor\u00e9 turbojets<\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"padding:6px 14px 6px 0;font-weight:600;color:#333;vertical-align:top;white-space:nowrap\">Velocidad m\u00e1xima<\/td><td style=\"padding:6px 0;color:#444\">715 km\/h (444 mph)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"padding:6px 14px 6px 0;font-weight:600;color:#333;vertical-align:top;white-space:nowrap\">N\u00famero construido<\/td><td style=\"padding:6px 0;color:#444\">About 900 (France and licence lines)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"padding:6px 14px 6px 0;font-weight:600;color:#333;vertical-align:top;white-space:nowrap\">Notable operators<\/td><td style=\"padding:6px 0;color:#444\">France, Israel, West Germany, Finland<\/td><\/tr><tr><td style=\"padding:6px 14px 6px 0;font-weight:600;color:#333;vertical-align:top;white-space:nowrap\">Display team<\/td><td style=\"padding:6px 0;color:#444\">Patrouille de France, 1964-1980<\/td><\/tr><\/table><\/div>\r\n<p>It first flew on 23 July 1952, and the first production order came on 13 January 1954.
