Project N
The Nomad design was originally called Project N, and was for a single engined, turbine powered low wing? aircraft. I think they had the military in mind, and they also sent details of this proposal to the agricultural operators to see what they thought of it, and if they might buy it.
But that soon changed to (N2?) the twin eginged high wing design which became the Nomad.
Had they built the "project N," they would have beaten the PAC 750 by a few decades and would probably have made many sales, and maybe even made a profit.
