The Turbay T-3 was a light transport and business travel aircraft produced by the Argentine manufacturer Turbay SA
History and construction
In 1957, the Argentine aircraft designer Alfredo Turbay began developing a twin-engine light transport aircraft. In 1961 Turbay SA was founded in Buenos Aires to build the new aircraft. The T-3A was designed as a low - wing metal construction and was powered by two Lycoming-O-360 -A1D four-cylinder boxer engines with 130 kW each. The aircraft had a retractable nose wheel landing gear and could carry six passengers in addition to the pilot. Alfredo Turbay himself piloted the T-3A on its maiden flight on December 8, 1964. The production version was to be equipped with two 190 kW engines in order to achieve better performance. However, there was no series production.
