| Although based broadly on the design of the Br 1001
Taon, the Br 1100 single-seat ground attack and tactical
light fighter preceded the former into the air. The Taon
having been delayed in order to incorporate in part the
then newly discovered area rule formula, the Br 1100
first flew on 31 March 1957, not featuring area rule. Designed
to meet the requirements of a Ministere de I1 Air
specification which dictated the use of paired lightweight
turbojets (SNECMA R.105 Vestas, Hispano-
Suiza R.800s or Turbomeca Gabizos), the Br 1100 was
intended to feature an internal rocket pack of 15 68mm
Brandt SNEB Type 22 rockets or two 30mm DEFA
cannon. The Gabizo turbojet was selected for installation,
this offering 1210kg dry and
1500kg with afterburning. Three prototypes
were ordered, the third of which was to have
been navalised, but only one was flown, the second
(when 80% complete) and third being cancelled
for budgetary reasons.
