I wasn’t aware of the T-34 with the Aztazou engine, that would have been an interesting project.

Arjen, the PAT-1 was developed by a group of former Henschel engineers who worked on the Hs 293. These engineers, were hired by Fabricaciones Militares (FM) after the war.Lancaster with PAT-1 missile - the missile looks very much like a Henschel Hs 293, a surprising combination.Huanquero, Bombi, Mamboreta, IA-68 ATL and Lancaster with PAT-1 ASM
Do you have more information about PAT-1?

In 1989, there was an Argentinian missile called FAS-320 Tabano, which was an air-to-ground rocket with a length 6.3m, a 500kg warhead, and a range of 100km.FMA I.Ae.24 Calquin launching an Air to Air Missile Tabano
What a pity. That cuts off quite a few lines of research that I had been developing.Hello.
Are there any projects to make aircraft for the Navy or for use on Aircraft Carriers?
The ARA Independencia was purchased in 1958-9 and the ARA Veinticinco de Mayo in 1968-9.

Hello,
No, there was an attempt to sell Guarani to the Navy but it did not prosper.
It must be borne in mind that from 1930 to 1983, Argentina was governed most of the time by military boards that overthrew democratic governments.
The FMA was created expressly to equip the FAA (Argentine Air Force) with its own aircraft, and to maintain its native and foreign aircraft.
Unfortunately, the FMA was like another air base within the FAA, with a Brigadier in charge, who changed every so many years according to promotions, and each Brigadier that arrived managed it as an air base, without long-term planning.
The Navy had its own maintenance centers.
Just now from 2014/15 they sent a P-3C Orion plane from the Argentine Navy for the first time in history.
To summarize, the FMA only designed planes for the FAA and the Navy would never buy or commission the design of an aircraft.
Best regards.
I was hoping to find designs or prototypes, like this DL variant offered to the Navy:
Anyway, thanks for the answer and your posts!

Before, it was a Kurt Tank's project. He started to design the Marut in Argentina like Pulqui IIIFMA IA-43 Pulqui III. Digital art by Alejandro Klichowski
Was this before or after the HAL HF-24 Marut?

Just to confirm this, as Apophenia said in his post, the twin Astafan variant was indeed planned as a trainer. Source is from Janes All The World 74-75. Once I get my scanner up and running I'll post the GA drawing along with the small piece of text on the project.I remember coming across a mention somewhere (unfortunately I don't recall the source) that there was allegedly a Pucara design study with jet engines. Does anybody have more information?

Llevo esperando trece años a que aparezca un editor con el suficiente... "right stuff" para hacer justicia al extraordinario trabajo de Burzaco, publicando sus libros en ingles.In my opinion, “Las Alas de Perón” has to be the most comprehensive book about the Golden age of Argentinian aviation industry.
Well, I agree a 100% with you Justo. Maybe it should be a spanish speaking author that translates Burzaco’s works into englishLlevo esperando trece años a que aparezca un editor con el suficiente...

Tan dificil y arriesgado seria hacer una edicion en Amazon-Kindle?
Es una cuestion de ideologia?.
Que problema puede haber en publicar un trabajo tan tecnico con background historico de todos conocido? yo no he encontrado ningun obstaculo a mis publicaciones en el mundo anglosajon.
Un saludo a todos y mis respeto por los demas autores.

I disagree, the book has a lot of inaccuracies and false legends, which unfortunately were installed in the popular imaginationLlevo esperando trece años a que aparezca un editor con el suficiente...
