Again on the IAe-27a.
This time two photos of pages from an Argentinian magazine, in first of which you may see Mr Norberto Morchio in his home in Cordoba in 2012 beside models of 'the original design' of Pulqui II and Pulqui I and in the other - model of the IAe-27a (the same as above). Perhaps anyone can tell what magazine the photos come from?
In addition to that: from http://historiasdeaviones.blogspot.com/2013/11/la-genesis-de-las-flechas.html a drawing of the wing and undercarriage of the first prototype of IA-33 (you may see the "IA-33" in the right-lower corner of the drawing). It looks quite interesting as it clearly depict a mid-wing aircraft, not the high-wing (IA-33 as built). So I suspect that this was to be an intermediate phase of the design between Morchio-Ricciardi's design and that of Tank. Bearing in mind a remark from the article in the IAPR (https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/argentinian-unbuilt-projects.211/post-347027) that "Tank's fuselage was adopted with the IAe-27a undercarriage", what may be seen in the drawing is the undercarriage arrangement from the Morchio-Ricciardi project. It may be also an indication that their project was in fact mid-wing rather than low-wing.
Btw does anybody have the drawing with higher resolution?

Yet another photo of the IA-27a model. Source: "Proyecto Pulqui II. Una sociología histórica de la innovación tecnológica en tiempos de Perón" by Alejandro Artopoulos. The book (actually a thesis) may be found there: https://www.scribd.com/document/374815146/Historia-del-Desarrollo-Auge-y-Caida-del-Pulqui-II

Now @Erdosain (GREAT THANKS!!!) has sent me a scan of the book "Proceso de Diseño del Pulqui I. Anteproyecto del Pulqui II" by Norberto Morchio and Humberto Ricciardi (the authors were the designers of the IAe-27a). The book says that the undercarriage of the Morchio-Ricciardi project retracted into the fuselage while "in the German project it was retracted in the wings with a complicated retraction system" - so quite obviously what is seen in the drawing attached to my previous post must be the initial German (i.d. that of Kurt Tank's team) design of the IAe-33: mid-wing with undercarriage partially rectracting into wings and wheels - into fuselage. Subsequently it was agreed that the final project of the IAe-33 would have a fuselage designed by the Germans (wider that that designed by Morchio and Ricciardi with bigger fuel tanks) but with Morchio-Ricciardi undercarriage (i.e. retracted into the fuselage).
It should be also noted that first version of Morchio-Ricciardi design was low-wing (there were its two sub-versions: one with the tailplane mid-mounted on the fin, and the other with T-tail). The second version was high-wing.
Attached here you may find aircraft characteristics for the three Pulquis (as compared to MiG-15 and Mystere IV). Its source is the above-mentioned book.

The Czech aviation magazine Letectvi + Kosmonautika # 23/1990 reported on a Argentinian helicopter projected by the company Fabrica Argentina de Materials Aeroespaciales.
In this facebook group called "Argentine Aerospace Development" (Desarrollo Aeroespacial Argentino) you can find some books and articles, in pdf and jpg format, of Argentine aircraft (including the book "Proceso de Diseño del Pulqui I. Anteproyecto del Pulqui II" by Norberto Morchio and Humberto Ricciardi ) and many photos of Pulqui I, II, IA-37/38/48 and others.
I will upload the most interesting photos here as I have time

IA-67 is a project that always puzzled me. Taking parts from the Pucarás seems to me a good idea on paper, but I am not really sure how that would worked out in reality.Un poco de historia: el proyecto IA-67 y su similitud con el Arava

Indeed the content of the Facebook group is absolutely fantastic! As an example here you've got drawings of two armed version of the IA-50 Guarani II that come from "El DINFIA IA-50 G-II" by Hernan Longoni and Jose Martinez.
I was in this presentation, also was anounced the Pampa III (third modernization) and the Z-11, (behind the Ia-73 mockup), an unlicenced copy of the Eurocopter Ecureuil made by the chinese CATIC.And a photo of the mockup:I attach some renders of the Ia-73 poject, only was built an 1:1 mockup.

Awesome.Hi.
I know this is an old post, but I am going to share with you some screenshots of the models we made with friends for the Strike Fighters 2 Combat Simulator, these are models of the IAe.27 Pulqui I , designed almost entirely from Dewoitine , also from IAe.33 Pulqui II, designed by the Argentine Aerotechnical Institute in collaboration with Kurt Tank, but not only by him, as many think.
The subject is long, but I have a lot of information about it, even from Pallavicino's designs, which were really beautiful.
Without further ado, I cordially greet you from Argentina!
Hi Erdosain,
can you tell us the FMA series from I.Ae.1 to I.Ae.18,but please if you know,send your answer in this topic;

What about IA 67 Córdoba light attack bomber?
Any info?
