Lla Sud-Ouest SO.6000 Triton a été le premier Français à réaction à être fabriqué et a été achevé dans les années 1940 par SNCASO. La conception so.6000 a commencé en 1943, comme un projet clandestin en raison de l’occupation allemande, sous l’ingénieur Lucien Servanty. Peu de temps après la guerre, Français gouvernement a exigé la construction de cinq prototypes.

Lla Sud-Ouest Triton was a French experimental aircraft designed and built in the late 1940s to test the concept of a tailless delta wing. The Triton had a triangular wing with a sweep angle of 60 degrees and a small vertical fin at the rear. The pilot sat in a pressurized cockpit in the nose, and the powerplant was a single turbojet engine mounted in the fuselage. The Triton made its first flight on 11 March 1950, piloted by Jacques Guignard.
The aircraft demonstrated good stability and handling qualities, but suffered from low speed performance and high landing speed. The Triton was modified several times to improve its aerodynamics and flight envelope, but it never reached its design speed of Mach 0.9. The Triton program was cancelled in 1953, after 93 flights and about 40 hours of flight time. The Triton was one of the first aircraft to explore the potential of the delta wing configuration, which would later be adopted by many supersonic fighters and bombers.
