EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking photograph captures the Noury T-65 Nouranda, registration number CF-BYX-X, as it takes to the skies in circa 1946. The Nouranda was the prototype for the Canadian-built Fleet 80 Canuck, a transport aircraft that would go on to serve with distinction in the post-war era. Designed and manufactured by Noury Aviation of Montreal, the T-65 was a single-engine, twin-boom monoplane with a capacity to carry up to 12 passengers or 2,500 pounds of cargo. Its sleek aerodynamic design and advanced features, such as retractable landing gear and a pressurized cabin, set it apart from other transport aircraft of the time. The Nouranda underwent extensive testing and evaluation by the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and Transport Canada, ultimately leading to the production of the Fleet 80 Canuck. This versatile aircraft would prove to be an essential asset for various Canadian organizations, including the RCAF, the Canadian National Railways, and private companies, providing essential transportation services across the vast Canadian landscape. As seen in this photograph, the Nouranda's streamlined shape and elegant lines are on full display as it climbs into the sky, heralding a new era of Canadian aviation. With its innovative design and impressive capabilities, the Nouranda paved the way for the successful Fleet 80 Canuck, which would continue to serve Canada's transportation needs for decades to come.
