the Ouragan II.
Basically it's a float plane,
Congratulations EB, this is a delicious new aircraft! Wub
Just a detail: why do you call it 'float plane'? huh
Explanations: the French word 'hydravion' translates into 2 English words: 'floatplane'="hydravions à flotteur" (plane upon float, either 2 main ones, Supermarine S.6B, or one central one, Nakajima Rufe) AND 'flying boat'="hydravion à coque" (hull-aircraft with a marine fuselage, either holding wing, Martin Mariner, or with a pylon holding wing, Consolidated Catalina - no matter if they have little floats at wing tips for balance). I think the Ouragan II is a flying boat like the Mariner, no? Or do you prepare a (retractable?) floatplane variant? rolleyes Grin
Congratulations anyway, dear EB. And thanks for making the flying-boat/floatplane jet-fighter family live again, decades after the Convair/Saro and Russian failures...

Love the Ouragan II, it reminds me of the Avpro Marauder:

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Tophe: The floats at wing tips are for balance and I was planning a single retractable hydro-ski (SeaDart or Saunders-Roe P.121).  rolleyes
Mossie: Yes, both designs share some similarities, I have made a search and found more info about a WIG version of the Marauder on the SecretProjects forum. Thanks for the pic of the fighter version! Grin
Edit: Some pictures from the past that explain the origins of the Ouragan II.
Regards,

EB

The modern Flying Flea look interesting but the Ouragan II is truly inspired

Thanks! Grin

After the single engined Gerfaut F1, Nord-Aviation released a more powerful interceptor powered by two new generation turbo-ramjets.
Still using tandem delta wings, the new design was called Gerfaut IV or Super-Gerfaut.  evil

Tophe: I like your Twin-Pou or Pou II-II or Double-Pou (eh.. eh..)!   Grin Thumbs Up

I do particularly like the Gerfaut IV! Wub  The Pou II & II-II are cute, you just want to pat them on the head & tickle them under the chin!

Thanks! Grin

Here's a delta version of the famous F-104 Starfighter that I hope it's new for you. rolleyes
I called it F-112 StarDragon because of the 'Draken' wings.
