Yqueleden and reytuerto,
Those are two excellent additions of lesser-known types. I'd never heard of the ASIA I-11 either so that was educational as well.
The Potez 75 continued the line of quirky French designs!

Nice additions drawing wise, but...

@Yqueleden
It is my belief, that AISA I-11 was 6,47m long
( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AISA_I-11
http://airwar.ru/enc/other/i11.html )
which gives approximately 143 pixels (142,94171 to be precise) - and Your drawing is just 109 pixels long (which gives 4,93m).
(that discrepancy is visible even just against the scale bar) :(

It is true. I made a mistake on the scale, I don't know why I thought each bar was 2.5 m and not 2 m.

I'm sorry for the mistake. I'll try to fix it tomorrow. Thank you.

Greetings

Spain. AISA I-11B

[ img ]

The I-11B was a two seat utility aircraft designed by spanish company Iberavia and produced by AISA. The first flight was in 1951 and the last unit was manufactured in 1957. The Ejercito del Aire (Spain Air Force) ordered almost two hundred for basic training, but disliked of the aircraft and the I-11B was used at liaison. In 1967 - 1967 the surviving aircrafts was transfered at fliyng clubs.
The AISA I-115, basic trainer of the Ejército del Aire in the sixties, was a I-11B development with two seats in tandem.
The I-11B was very small at was nicknamed "Vespa" (for the italian scooter) or "Peque" (little girl).
Many units are preserved in fliyng conditions, in museum, fundations or fliyng clubs.
The scale error is fixed allready. I've corrected some other small errors and added another aircraft.

All AISA I-11B drawing are in flying condition, except the one in Cuatro Vientos which is on static display.

Thanks to Eswube. Greetings.

Spain. Hispano-Suiza HS-42 and Hispano Aviation HA-43

[ img ]

During the Spanish Civil War the airline company Hispano started the construction of Fokker D.XX fighters for the Republican air force, although none were completed. At the end of the war, the Spanish Air Force considered the D.XXI outdated but commissioned Hispano to develop an advanced trainer based on that aircraft.

The HS-42A was the initial version with Piaggio engine. The Italian engine gave bad results and the HS-42A had to be remotorized.

The HS-42B, with Cheetah, was the most numerous version . In addition to the new construction, most HS-42A were converted to the B version.

The HA-43 (Hispano Aviación) had retractable landing gear and was to have a Spanish "Sirio" engine, but due to delays it had a Cheetah engine. They ordered 40 units, but the HA-43 had no better performance than the HS-42 and one of the prototypes crashed. The HA-43 was cancelled and the built specimens were transformed into HS-42D, with fixed landing gear.

Just over a hundred were builts. They were dangerous aircraft, prone to the "hachazo" ("axe strike", or asymmetric stall) and caused quite a few accidents. They were withdrawn in 1958 when American planes were received.

Spain. AISA González Pazó GP-1 and GP-4

[ img ]

The captains González and Pazó designed the GP-1 plane that won the 1934 competition to equip the Spanish Air Force (FARE) with a basic trainer. The Loring company began production in Madrid. At the beginning of the Civil War was moved to Alicante. Some 40 GP-1 and a few GP-2 and GP-4 aircraft were built with closed cabin. At the end of the war the survivors were briefly used for liaison and then transferred to the aeroclubs. The GP-4 was tested by INTA (Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aeronáutica) and led to the development of the HM-1 basic trainer.
