The DINFIA IA 35 Huanquero was a 1950s Argentine twin-engined general-purpose monoplane aircraft built by the DINFIA.
[edit] Development
The IA 35 Huanquero was the first design from the DINFIA organisation to enter production. A twin-engined all metal (except for fabric covered ailerons) low-wing cantilever monoplane. It had a high-mounted tailplane with two fins and rudders and retractable tricycle landing gear. Powered by two IA 19R El Indio radial engines.
The prototype first flew on 21 September 1953 and was followed by a planned production batch of 100 aircraft. The first production aircraft flew on 29 March 1957 but less than half of the aircraft were built when production ceased in the mid-1960s.
