The SNCASE SE-212 Durandal was a French jet and rocket mixed-power fighter aircraft of the mid-1950s. Designed in parallel with the lightweight fighter-bomber projects destined for the 1953 NATO Fighter Competition that resulted in the winner the Fiat G.91 and a number of also-rans. The SE-212 arose out of the same thinking but devolved into a dedicated point-defence interceptor. Despite promising results in tests the project was cancelled.
