Development

[edit]

The NC.860 was developed from the earlier NC.853 single-engined high-wing monoplane, major changes included a four-seat cabin and the fitting of two 105 hp (78 kW) Walter Minor 4-III engines on a re-designed wing.[1] With the engines mounted on the high-wing the wing span was increased and the NC.860 had a tricycle landing gear.[1]

The NC.860, registered F-WFKJ, first flew 28 March 1949.[1][2]
