IAR 27

The IAR 27 was a 1930s Romanian two-seat low-wing monoplane primary trainer designed and built by Industria Aeronautică Română.

Based on the earlier IAR 21 and in particular the IAR 22 but the design was simplified to allow for mass-production.

The IAR 27 was a braced low-wing monoplane powered by a 180 hp (134 kW) IAR 6-G1 piston engine and it had two open cockpits in tandem.

More than 200 aircraft were built, and they served with both civil and military training schools in Romania.
