AIRCRAFT
This CD covers three
indigenous training aircraft from Spain.
The first is the INTA
HM.1, a 1940s primary trainer designed by the
Instituto Nacional de Tecnica Aeronautica (INTA) and built for them
by Aeronáutica Industrial S.A. (AISA).
The second, the Hispano
HA-200 Saeta (Dart) was the first Spanish
turbojet powered aircraft. The prototype first flew on 12 August 1955
and the first production aircraft flew in 1962. The HA-200A aircraft
were delivered to the Spanish Air Force with the designation E.14.
A single seat version (the HA-220) for the ground-attack role was
developed and delivered to the Spanish Air Force with the
designation C.10.
The CASA C-101
Aviojet aircraft was designed to an Ejercito Del
Aire requirement in 1975 for a jet trainer to replace its aging fleet
of Hispano Ha.200s and Ha.220s. Like many European jet trainers,
it was also to have a limited attack capability. CASA sought technical
assistance from MBB and Northrop and produced a design along
largely conventional lines, the only unusual feature being a large
internal weapons bay beneath the rear cockpit, allowing for a wider
variety of armament to be carried than the underwing pylons alone
would allow. Alternatively, this bay can be used to carry
reconnaissance equipment. The aircraft is designed in a modular
fashion to ease manufacturing and maintenance, and enjoys a great
range since its initial requirement called for deployment to the
Canary Islands from the Spanish mainland.
The first flight took place on June 29, 1977, and when performance
was found to be better than anticipated, an initial Spanish Air Force
order for 60 machines was placed. A dedicated trainer version
designated E.25 Mirlo ("Blackbird") by the air force entered service
on March 17, 1980.
