  26.     ║   Among the smallest jet aircraft developed with third-level airline ║

  28.     ║   jet, and was evolved especially to meet North American             ║
  29.     ║   requirements.  It originated shortly before the Sud-Nord merger    ║
  30.     ║   into Aerospatiale. The prototype flew on July 16, 1970 but was     ║
  31.     ║   lost during flight development.  The first full production         ║
  32.     ║   standard aircraft flew on November 9, 1973, and French             ║
  33.     ║   certification was achieved on May 28, 1974.                        ║
