This Triton was the first French jet-powered aircraft, which was flown in November 1946. A total of five aircraft were produced for the test programme, including one for static testing only. Despite multiple aircraft been built and successfully flown, further development of the SO.6000 was abandoned following the rapid emergence of more advanced jet-powered fighter aircraft. STriton No. 03 F-WFKY is exhibited at Le Bourget. This aircraft incorporates parts from No. 05 F-WFKX.
