EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Breguet Br.1001 Taon 02 - E, an unforgettable contender in the NATO Light Weight Strike Fighter (LWSF) competition held in the late 1980s. The competition aimed to find a replacement for the F-84F Thunderstreak and F-100 Super Sabre, and attracted numerous aviation giants, including Breguet with their Taon design. The Taon 02 - E, with serial number 2, is seen here on display at the Musee de l'air et de l'espace in Le Bourget, near Paris, circa 1990. The Taon was a single-engine, delta-winged aircraft, featuring advanced avionics and a retractable tricycle landing gear. With a top speed of over Mach 1.5 and a range of 1,500 kilometers, the Taon was a formidable competitor. Despite its impressive capabilities, the Taon ultimately failed to secure the contract, which was won by the Fiat G.91. The Taon's complex design and high development costs were significant factors in its defeat. Nevertheless, the Taon remains an intriguing chapter in the history of aviation, showcasing the cutting-edge technology and ambition of its time. The Taon's legacy lives on as a testament to the relentless pursuit of innovation and progress in the field of aeronautical transportation. This photograph, captured at the Musee de l'air et de l'espace, offers a unique glimpse into the past, reminding us of the unforgettable designs and stories that have shaped the world of flight.
