I Want You! Yes You Modder!
To build a plane wich gave hope to thousands and made a hole nation proud of itself.
A plane wich foreing superpowers considered imposible in a third world nation, wich had being badly
affected by the great depression of the 30s, but still managed to rebuild its economy by making
stronger national enetreprises.
Im talking about the IA 33 "Pulqui (arrow in the Mapudungun language) II", the very first supersonic
south american aircraft. Powered by a turbojet 4,998 lbf Rolls Royce Nene II, it could reach a cruise
speed of 960 km/h, a maximum speed of 1050 km/h, a range of 2600 km and a 11.600 m service
ceiling. Its worth to add, that the chief designer of the proyect was Kurt Tank who desinged the
Focke Wulf 190, Ta/152 series and the Ta 183 Huckebein.
