EspañolSUD-EST
'''Société nationale des constructions aéronautiques du sud-est''' ('SNCASE', or commonly, 'Sud-Est') was a French aircraft manufacturer. It was born from the nationalisation of the French aeronautical industries in 1937.
They produced 2 autogyros, C.34 and the SE.700 ''Alouette'' (skylark). After World War II SNCASE continued experimenting with helicopters with the help from a team from Focke Achgelis. They built the SE.3000 which was a French version of the twin-rotor Focke Achgelis Fa 223 Drache and a smaller SE.3101, built around the Focke Wulf Fw 61. With this experience SNCASE went on to design more helicopters: SE.3100, SE.3110 and eventually the SE.3120 Alouette.
The Alouette first flew on July 21 1951 and broke the helicopter distance and speed records in July 1953. A production for several hundreds was envisaged but hopes were soon dashed when the SE.3120 was found non-marketable because it was too complicated.
