manufacturers were invited by NATO to submit aircraft for evaluation for
the "LWSF" (Light Weight Strike Fighter) role. The TAON was
designed to meet the requirement.

The Taon was a small mid-wing monoplane
with swept wings and tail surfaces and retractable tricycle undercarriage.
The company was contracted to build three prototypes, the first aircraft
flying on the 26 July 1957.The second aircraft incorporated improvements
and had a slightly longer fuselage. Development was discontinued and only
two aircraft were built. (Text from Wikipedia).
