The CASA C-202 Halcón (Spanish for falcon ) was a twin-engine airliner made by the Spanish manufacturer Construcciones Aeronáuticas SA in the 1950s. It was designed for 14 passengers. Due to problems with the drive, only ten series machines were built and put into service as the T.6 by the Spanish Air Force .
history
In November 1948, the Spanish government commissioned the manufacturer CASA to manufacture a small passenger aircraft for domestic traffic. First two prototypes should be built. The first flight took place in May 1952. In October 1953 the government ordered the first ten pre-series machines. In 1962 the contract for the delivery of the main series was terminated. CASA had not found a supplier for a sufficiently powerful engine.
construction
The Halcón was designed as a low wing all-metal aircraft with a retractable tricycle landing gear. The cabin was air-conditioned.
Two piston engines from the Spanish manufacturer Elizalde were provided as drive . Since their development was delayed, the prototypes had to be provisionally equipped with other drives. The Elizalde 9C engine supplied by the successor company ENMASA turned out to be too weak in the end. The replacement of the Wright Cyclone engine failed due to the bankruptcy of the engine manufacturer Minnesota Air Motive .
