The Embraer EMB 200 Ipanema is an agricultural aircraft from the Brazilian manufacturer Embraer .
development and construction
The single - seat low - wing aircraft , driven by a piston engine, has a rigid tail wheel landing gear. The first flight of the all-metal aircraft took place on July 30, 1970 . 80% of all agricultural aircraft in Brazil are from the EMB-200 series. The 1000th machine was delivered on March 15, 2005.
The draft was initiated by the Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture, which had drawn up the specifications for an agricultural aircraft. The design work began in May 1969. The first prototype (code: PP-ZIP) was completed in spring 1970. The approval was granted on 14 December 1971 respectively.
The first variant was the EMB 200 with a 260 hp engine and a fixed propeller. Series production began in 1972 and ended in mid-1974 after 73 machines had been manufactured. It was replaced by the improved EMB 201 , of which a total of 200 machines were manufactured by 1977. This was replaced by the EMB 201A , which, in addition to the 300 hp engine with variable pitch propeller, also has a modified wing and various aerodynamic improvements. Three machines were equipped as EMB 201R for the Brazilian Air Force as tow planes. They were given the military designation Embraer U-19.
In March 1980, production was transferred to Indústria Aeronáutica Neiva , which Embraer had acquired shortly before .
In March 1992 the much improved EMB 202 Ipanemão was presented, which was 40% larger. The payload increased from 750 kg to 950 kg. The flight performance was also significantly better. It can be equipped with an electrostatic spray system. In 2002, an ethanol- powered variant was presented, which was approved on October 19, 2004 and is called EMB 202A . By switching to alcohol fuel, the engine output increases to 320 hp.
