Project I.A.59 (Dr Reimar Hörten) - Assault aircraft and light transport
Regional transport jet aircraft for short distances, in the 17 to 25 tn category, designed to operate aerodromes with runways of 1000 m in length.
There was going to be a civil and a military version. The military one was equipped with a rear loading ramp.
A significant detail is the original arrangement of the power plants on the wings, obtaining a distance from the ground that reduces the possibility of suction of foreign bodies, in addition to achieving a greater margin of centering of the aircraft with different load conditions by improving the location. center of gravity.
This configuration was chosen over that of a high-wing aircraft after a careful comparison between the two configurations.
