@jerome96114 Because the existence of turbojets made them obsolete.
Although, I wonder how a turboprop version of this would perform...

"La crêpe volante" indeed

I don't know if this has already been said but this plane (prototype actually) is located now in Poitiers (France) in the Futuroscope resort. I got to discover it by chance in last September during a trip over there. Its nickname in french is "La crêpe dorée"

Wish someone would make an 4ch RC of this plane.
