A turbojet-powered derivative of the NC.1070, the NC.1071 had underwing engine nacelles, which also carried the tailfins, connected by a tailplane on top. The first prototype flew on 12 October 1948 but the second prototype was abandoned after suffering structural damage in a flight to Mach 0.7. Aerocentre went into liquidation during 1949 and the project was cancelled in 1951.
