...nope to both questions; this used a Rolls Royce turbojet, had ceiling of 30,000ft and flew once in the 1950s before both it and its intended successor were bugetarily cancelled to save pesos ca: 1960.

I'd considered that but she had 2xBristol Siddeley B.Ol.22R Olympus Mk.320 afterburning turbojet engines and a ceiling of 40-50000ft

BIG HINT: when I said ' save pesos', I really meant it!

Plus, anyone climbing into the cockpit of this experimental fighter would have to be seriously prone to flying.

Mexican?

Aktungbby · 10-25-24, 01:09 PM

Think Magellan Strait

FMA I.Ae. 37, Experimental jet fighter developed in Argentina during the 1950s ?

Buddahaid · 10-25-24, 09:12 PM

That has to be it.

Aktungbby · 10-25-24, 09:13 PM

The I.Ae. 37 project was initiated by Reimar Horton around 1952, following the cancellation of his previous flying wing projects in 1951. This design was a single-engine jet fighter, incorporating a Delta wing flying wing structure, with engine inlets positioned laterally on each side of the nose.
Wind tunnel testing commenced in 1953, along with tests on scale models at speeds of up to 200 km/h (120 mph). A full-scale glider prototype was constructed and took its maiden flight on October 1, 1954. In a unique design feature, the pilot lay prone, viewing through the clear nose of the aircraft.
The glider’s flight performance was assessed as excellent, leading to the commencement of a prototype powered by a Rolls-Royce Derwent V engine in 1955. This engine was chosen for its availability, despite not meeting the desired thrust for the fighter.

My next big hint woulda been:

The cockpit was later altered to permit a conventional sitting pilot.

Never heard of Horton and his life after WW2, this was completly new to me..

I cannot post something new here, this is a chore with a mobile and internet is also bad here; so maybe someone else cam chime in?

Thanks and greetings
