The SNCASE S.E.5000 Baroudeur (French: Adventurer) was a French single-engined lightweight fighter designed by SNCASE (Sud-Est) and evaluated in the NATO NBMR-1 "Light Weight Strike Fighter" competition. An unusual design without a conventional landing gear, it used a wheeled trolley for take-off and three retractable skids to land. The Baroudeur did not enter production.
