    DINFIA IA 38
    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
    IA 38
    IA 38 1.jpg
    The prototype IAe.38 under construction
    Role Experimental tailless transport aircraft
    National origin Argentina
    Manufacturer DINFIA
    First flight 1960
    Number built 1
    The DINFIA IA 38 was a 1960s Argentine four-engine experimental tailless transport, designed under the direction of Reimar Horten and based on the German Horten Ho VIII project and built by the DINFIA.

    Development[edit]
    The IA 38 was an experimental cargo transport based on research by Reimar Horten. It was an all-metal tailless shoulder-wing swept monoplane, with the vertical control surfaces instead located near the tips of the wings. The short, stubby fuselage was fitted with retractable tricycle landing gear. Power was provided by four I.Ae. 16 El Gaucho radial engines mounted within the wings and driving pusher propellers mounted clear of the wing trailing edge. The two-man cockpit was faired into the leading edge of the wing. A cargo compartment within and below the wing was capable of carrying 6100kg (13,448lb) of freight using a rear access door.

    The prototype was completed in 1959, however problems with engine cooling delayed the first flight to 9 December 1960. Horten was forced to use the IA 16 engines which were below the power rating of the intended powerplants. As a result, the craft was severely underpowered and showed a poor performance.

    After the project was cancelled, the IA 38 found its way into the grounds of the Aeronautical School, where it was used as a static display until a fire destroyed the aircraft's skin (suspected to have been an act of arson). The remains of the plane were scrapped afterwards.

  14. Gary, you are making a lot of great posts, but a few, such as this one, are of the type of content Ryan said earlier could get the thread closed. Please be careful.
