Built by SNCASO in only 2 specimens, the SO-1220 Djinn is a single-seat reactive blade rotorcraft, motorized by a turboshaft Turbomeca Palouste 1. Its first flight took place on January 2, 1953. Thereafter, SNCASO produced the two-seater SO-1221. The prototype s/n 2 is currently preserved complete by the Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace of Le Bourget. The single-seat Djinn was never mass produced.

Arrived in 1997, the main rotor shaft and the 2 tanks are the only remainder parts of SO-1220 s/n 1 F-WCZX. Completely dismounted (without documentation), cleaned and repainted in 1998, these historical parts have required approximately 130 working hour. They are now visible for each exhibition. |
