The IPT-7 Junior was a light aircraft produced by the Brazilian manufacturer Instituto de Pesquisas Tecnologicas (IPT).
History and construction
Frederico A. Brotero , an engineer at the Instituto de Pesquisas Tecnologicas , designed a light multipurpose aircraft that first flew in 1945. The IPT-7 was designed as a low-wing aircraft with a fixed tail wheel landing gear and had a conventional tail unit. The fuselage and the wings were a wooden structure, which was planked with plywood from local woods. In the cockpit, which could be entered through a sliding hood, the pilot and passenger sat next to each other. The machine was driven by a Franklin 4AC-176-BA2 with 48 kW. Despite good flight characteristics, there was no series production.
