^idk what version it is (i guess 1995?)
Menem lo hizo, i imagine you mean 1965
IA-37 (scale wooden prototype) 1954
Spoiler
During 1955, a metal prototype was being prepared at the IAME, which would be equipped with 1 x 1832kg Rolls-Royce Derwent 5 turbojet. Received the definitive designation of IA-37 “Delta Wing”
The installation of a Martin Baker D/Sk/2511 ejection seat had been planned, and two 20 mm Hispano Switzerland 804 cannons on the cockpit floor. It would be powered - as planned - with two Rolls Royce Avon turbines.

Apparently the final version IA-37 is the metal one with a Derwent turbine that is seen in many photos, used as a “laboratory” by Horten.
The supersonic version with two reactors would be the IA-48 project, which was expected to fly in 1961.
idk what y’all are talking about but that dorito looked spicy

to be honest with all the delays by the time it would come into production it would of been already outdated, a shame, Horten´s design are very intresting and also horten was probably easier to work than Tank, would of been cool if the IA-48 would of been made, at least a prototype

We must not get angry about what did not happen or we will live bitterly.
However, the IA-37 with the derwent turbine should be in the TT, in my opinion.
Greetings guys.

Now that i think about it , while we dont see the back, would that weird bulge under the fuselage that its only present on the normal cockpit version be some sort of space they did for the engine? i ask because its missing on the prone cockpit version
Do you think Horten tested his laboratory plane from 1954 to 1960 using a tugboat throughout this period? I can’t help but imagine the number of gloster engines available in those years.
maybe the jet powered prototype existed, now what oso would need to do is a ho229 thing were he needs to add retractable landing year and the armament
I meant the version of the book haha
You are right, but it would not be the first time (ho 229, yak141 among other vehicles), nor the last time.
It is one of the first hang glider designs, almost a delicacy.
Another thing that you could add to premiums are the rebel planes from the “revolucion libertadora” like the meteor with +>
Both had it, at least at some point?
i wonder what the bulge is
because its in between the 2 fake exaust, maybe there was also a jet powered prototype with the prone cockpit
Not sure why, ill investigate on this when i have the time
I think skins might be better there, there is already quite a lot of premiums to choose from.
question, giving that the pucara charlie has access to matra magics woudnt the br be higher than 7.7?
