SNCASO (abbreviated from Société nationale des constructions aéronautiques du Sud-Ouest ), or commonly Sud-Ouest, was a French aircraft manufacturer.
Created during 1936 as one of seven nationalised aeronautical manufacturing companies, SNCASO became a key French aircraft manufacturer following the end of the Second World War. It produced numerous innovation aircraft; amongst the company's more notable projects was the first French jet aircraft, the Sud-Ouest Triton, and the first indigenously-developed French helicopter, the Sud-Ouest Djinn.
