Compared to its predecessor, the Uirapuru II had a longer fuselage, greater wingspan, larger fin, more powerful engine, and a redesigned, flat-sided fuselage. A similar aircraft with a less powerful engine was planned for the civil market. The prototype first flew on 26 February 1981. The Air Force originally had the intention to order 100 units but after a decision that the primary trainer should have tandem seats, the project was abandoned. The only orders came from the Boli ...

Aerotec S/A Indústria Aeronáutica
Aerotec S/A Indústria Aeronáutica was a Brazilian aircraft manufacturer founded in 1962 with the support of the Department of Science and Aerospace Technology (''Portuguese: Departamento de Ciência e Tecnologia Aeroespacial; DCTA'') in São José dos Campos. History Beginning in the late 1960s, the company produced a two-seat trainer aircraft for the Brazilian Air Force, the Aerotec A.122 Uirapuru. Thirty units were produced for the civilian market. The Uirapuru was also exported to Bolivia and Paraguay. Thereafter, Aerotec produced mainly components for Embraer until 1980. At that time, the Brazilian Air Force showed interest in a performance-enhanced version of the Uirapuru. A prototype with an improved cockpit canopy and enlarged tail unit was built as the A.132 Uirapuru II. Since the Brazilian Air Force did not order this aircraft, only a few examples were produced for Bolivia. In 1987, the company was acquired by Embraer. Aircraft See also * Companhia Aeronáut ...

Aerotec A-122 Uirapuru
The Aerotec A-122 Uirapuru was a Brazilian military trainer aircraft. It was a low-wing monoplane with tricycle Landing gear, undercarriage that accommodated the pilot and instructor side-by-side. It first flew on 2 June 1965. Design and development In October 1967, the Brazilian Air Force ordered 30 aircraft to replace the obsolete Fokker S.11s and Fokker S.12, S.12s (T-21s and T-22s) that were operating in the Air Force Academy. Later, they ordered another 40, and then 30 more. These were designated T-23. The Bolivian Air Force ordered 36 examples in 1974, which flew until 1997, and in 1975 the Military of Paraguay, Paraguayan Air Force bought eight aircraft to replace the Fokker T-21 (S.11). In 1986, six more were donated by the FAB. Most of them were withdrawn from service in 1992, replaced by the Enaer T-35 Pillán. As of 2009, only one T-23 is in flying conditions. Thirty others were sold in the civilian market. A total of 155 were built including prototypes by the time pr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Lycoming O-320-B2B
The Lycoming O-320 is a large family of naturally aspirated, air-cooled, four-cylinder, direct-drive engines produced by Lycoming Engines. They are commonly used on light aircraft such as the Cessna 172 and Piper Cherokee. Different variants are rated for 150 or 160 horsepower (112 or 119 kilowatts). As implied by the engine's name, its cylinders are arranged in horizontally opposed configuration and a displacement of 320 cubic inches (5.24 L). Design and development The O-320 family of engines includes the carbureted O-320, the fuel-injected IO-320, the inverted mount, fuel-injected AIO-320 and the aerobatic, fuel-injected AEIO-320 series. The LIO-320 is a "left-handed" version with the crankshaft rotating in the opposite direction for use on twin-engined aircraft to eliminate the critical engine. The first O-320 (with no suffix) was FAA certified on 28 July 1953 to CAR 13 effective 5 March 1952; this same engine was later re-designated, without change, as the O-320-A1A ...

Flat-four
A flat-four engine, also known as a horizontally opposed-four engine, is a four-cylinder piston engine with two banks of cylinders lying on opposite sides of a common crankshaft. The most common type of flat-four engine is the boxer-four engine, each pair of opposed pistons moves inwards and outwards at the same time. A boxer-four engine has perfect primary and secondary balance, however, the two cylinder heads means the design is more expensive to produce than an inline-four engine. Boxer-four engines have been used in cars since 1897, especially by Volkswagen and Subaru. They have also occasionally been used in motorcycles and frequently in aircraft. Cessna and Piper use flat four engines from Lycoming and Continental in the most common civil aircraft in the world - the Cessna 172, and Piper Cherokee, while many ultralight and LSA planes use versions of the Rotax 912. Design Most flat-four engines are designed so that each pair of opposing pistons moves inwards and o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
