This Triton has the distinction of being the first French indigenously-designed jet-powered aircraft to be flown. Its first flight was in November 1946 and marked quite an achievement after the problems the country's aircraft industry faced following WWII. The plane was initially underpowered and soon obsolete so the project was abandoned with five aicraft in the test-program. This is the third frame produced (second flying and first with the RR Nene engine) and is on display incorporating parts from 05 F-WFKX.
