FMA IAe 30 Namcu – never knew it existed

And darn good looking too:

Came across it quite by accident while looking at pics of the Hawker Henley from that other thread.

Felt like sharing in case others haven’t seen it either.

Cheers

Great triangular fuselage on the Nancu, lofted very similarly to the Me 262. As is the tail. The whole thing is an amalgam of good design ideas from the past 5 years – and of course, why shouldn’t it be? Another ‘epitome’ aeroplane from that second ‘golden era’ of pure design for flight before subsonic design stopped being of interest and area ruling, weapons platforming and the American ‘just add power’ ethos took over.

Another Argentine design resembled a more famous de Havilland twin:

A new one on me too, thanks for sharing that link. Similarities to the Hornet are notable.
