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).
