History & design
An airborne observation post
The Nord 3400 was designed in 1958 for observation and short-field work. Its rear position could carry an observer or accommodate casualty evacuation, giving the aircraft a role beyond simple two-seat transport.

The history recorded in one airframe
Espace Air Passion’s No. 78 was built in June 1960, with acceptance flights that month. It was stored in April 1978 after accumulating 1,777 flight hours. The museum’s restoration record preserves the individual aircraft’s service dates alongside the type’s design history.

Systems & details
An observer’s workplace
The rear cockpit was designed for observation as well as a second pilot. Espace Air Passion describes duplicate controls, a stick that folds into the floor, a seat able to turn through a full circle and a floor opening for a camera. Outward-angled windows and the large canopy helped the observer look down beside the aircraft. The museum also describes hand-pumped flap extension and a Potez 4D34 driving a three-blade variable-pitch Hartzell, contrasting that installation with the earlier two-blade propeller.
