| In 1948, the French Breguet firm began work on a
new carrier-based attack aircraft for the Aeronavale, the French naval air arm.
The first prototype of this design, the Breguet "Type 960-1 Vultur", flew on 3
August 1951.
However, the Aeronavale decided that they were more interested in a
carrier-based ASW aircraft. The Vultur never entered production, instead being
extensively redesigned for the ASW role as the Breguet "Type 1050 Alize", which
performed its first flight on 5 October 1956. It appears that one of the Vultur prototypes
was modified to act as a systems testbed for the Alize and designated "Type
965", but details of this aircraft are extremely unclear. The Alize ended up
looking much different from the Vultur. The general configuration was similar,
but the turbojet was deleted from the rear fuselage, to be replaced by a CSF
radar system with a retractable antenna dome in the belly. The Mamba turboprop
was replaced by a Rolls-Royce Dart RDa.21 turboprop with 1,565 kW (2,100 SHP),
driving a four-bladed propeller. The fuselage was extensively redesigned and
enlarged to accommodate more gear and a crew of three, including pilot, radar
operator, and sensor operator. The pilot was seated in front on the right, the
radar operator in front on the left, and the sensor operator sat sideways behind
them. The landing gear was modified so that the main gear retracted backwards
into nacelles in redesigned wings. The main gear had dual wheels, and the front
part of the nacelles accommodated sonobuoys. The Alize had a yoke-style
arresting hook.
The internal weapons bay could accommodate a homing torpedo or depth charges,
and underwing stores pylons could carry bombs, depth charges, rockets, or
missiles. Typical underwing stores included 68 millimeter rocket pods or AS-12
wire-guided antiship missiles. Aircraft included in the package: -
