A Regional Workhorse
Tthe Nord 262, 또한 Frégate in its military configuration, was a high-wing, twin-engine turboprop airliner designed to replace aging piston-engine transports like the DC-3. Developed from the unpressurized Max Holste MH.260, the Nord 262 featured a circular-section pressurized fuselage, allowing it to fly over weather and provide a modern level of comfort to regional passengers. It was a stout, reliable aircraft that found a niche in both short-haul civilian airlines and various specialized military roles.

Design Features: Pressurization and Efficiency
- Circular Pressurized Hull: Unlike the square-bodied MH.260, the Nord 262’s circular fuselage was optimized for pressurization. This allowed the aircraft to operate at higher altitudes where the Bastan turboprops were more fuel-efficient.
- High-Wing Configuration: The high-wing placement kept the engines and propellers clear of debris on unpaved or poorly maintained regional runways, making it ideal for rural operations.
- Landing Gear Sponsons: To keep the fuselage interior spacious and unobstructed, the main landing gear retracted into aerodynamic pods (sponsons) on the lower sides of the fuselage.
- The “Frégate” Evolution: The military Nord 262E version featured uprated Bastan VII engines and specialized equipment for maritime surveillance and navigation training.
Military Service and the Mohawk
- French Navy (Aéronavale): The Frégate served for decades as a transport, paratroop trainer, and maritime patrol aircraft. Its reliability in the salt-heavy air of coastal France was a testament to its robust construction.
- The American Connection (Mohawk 298): In the U.S., the aircraft was operated by Allegheny Airlines. Later, nine airframes were significantly modified with Pratt & Whitney PT6A engines and new avionics, rebranded as the Mohawk 298 to comply with regional airline regulations.
- Multi-National Utility: The aircraft saw service in diverse locations, from the African bush to the United States and the French Pacific territories, proving its adaptability to extreme climates.
- Training Legacy: Many French military pilots and navigators earned their “wings” in the back of a Nord 262 configured as a flying classroom, a role similar to the Percival Proctor of an earlier era.
