I hope that this project begins production. I would hate to see it canceled with the possible purchase of the T-6

do you mean the IA-100?

If i am honest, there are many failures before success, so the point always in aerospace is the commitment a nation has,


Same can happen with this model the Pe-210, they say it will have retracting landing gear and it will be larger than the first prototype, but like everything in Latino america things can fail due to corrupt and greedy politicians, plus we have to remember many times they make mistakes in the market and technology applications

A Mexican-designed carrier rocket might soon give the nation's aerospace industry enough autonomy for small educational and commercial projects

Mexican aerospace firm Datiotec Aerospace has developed the JFCR.2000-Pollux launcher rocket, giving national colleges and researchers a wider launch window for their satellite validation tests and microgravity experiments.

The six-meter-long Pollux reusable rocket has a payload of three kilograms and will be capable of reaching a maximum altitude of 100 kilometers.

The San Luis Potosi-based company seeks "to solve current launch problems with our own low-cost solution, giving a boost to the development of space technology and positioning Mexico in a prominent role," said project leader Luis Gerardo Zarate Vilet.

The goal, he continued, is for the project to operate at the industrial level, with between 12 and 24 launches per year.

The Pollux rocket is currently in the last testing stages, explained Zarate. "We'll fire it up for the first time in fixed conditions, in order to check its operation and calculated parameters."

TIJUANA Company directors, ICON Aircraft announced Thursday 8 September the establishment of a production plant in the city of Tijuana, Baja California; in which the entire structure for aircraft A5, a sports amphibian will occur.

ICON planned that the plant is completed in early 2017, which will be delivering structures of carbon fiber fuselages to its facilities in California, United States for final assembly and flight testing.

It is a company that manufactures consumer sports planes, founded in response to the category of sport aviation, created by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA, for its acronym in English). Based on these regulations that enable it, your mission it is to reinvent personal aviation by providing aircraft to use that allow freedom, fun and adventure of flying are available to those advanced, secure and easy technology that they always have dreamed of.

The first model ICON is the A5, a sports amphibious aircraft that combines an exceptional aeronautical engineering with a product design first class, it has won several design awards in different parts of the world and has attracted followers from countries around the world, hence the company has received more than 1,800 deposits.

In response to demand, ICON begin its serialized production and this has selected the city of Tijuana as the ideal for the production of components site, due to its established industrial infrastructure, skilled labor and proximity to the assembly plant California, United States.

With an investment of more than $ 150 million and employment for over 1000 people, this event marks the prelude to a significant project that will benefit both the city and the country.

The company presentation will be held on Thursday, September 8 at the esplanade of the Tijuana Cultural Center (CECUT), from 18:00 hours and will be attended by the founders of the company, led by CEO Kirk Hawkins, Mexico government authorities and representatives of the private sector on both sides of the border.

a press conference where he will be released to the media all the details of the manufacture of sports aircraft, the models will be present in the CECUT will also be held.

IA-63 prototypes:
It must be taken in consideration that the prototype stage on IA-63 Pampa was caught between a hard transition times in Argentina. The 7 years of heavy handed military rule (1976-83) left the country not only with a heavy luggage of human rights violation but also with a bad economic management. That was quite evident when the AAF asked for 4 prototypes but was only allowed 3 by the new authorities.
Putting a great effort on extracting the best flight information of those 3 aircraft the AAF send the pilots of the argentine CEV (Flight test center) to the French CENPR ( school of advanced test pilots and flight) to improved their skills.
Eventually the roll-out of IA-63 EX-01 (EX being trainer experimental) was made in 14th august 1984.

First flight was completed 6 weeks later by Vice-Commodore G.M sciolla and Major J. Orefice. A maximal speed of Mach .65 was obtained at 4650 meters (13600 feet). The EX-01 was in charge to elaborate the flight manual so it was extensively tested on the usual stall, flutter, low speed and max speed spectrum. The aircraft behaved well in all situations. Some advertising for the program was obtained when EX-01 was in static and flight demonstration at the French airshow of Le Bouget in 1985. That aircraft was ferried inside an AAF Hercules C-130H.

Second proto flew in august 1985 and the third in 26th march 1986. EX-03 was a weapons development aircraft to test the new locally made Czerweny-Citefa SINT N-2 ( SINT = integrated navigation and fire control system) which is a simple 32 bit computer to calculate data for bombs/rockets/canon fire and to help in navigation).

Fortunately for the somewhat restrained development program the prototypes were completely trouble free and series production was authorized by authorities.
