Шаблон:Short description

The Alvear was a Brazilian single-engine, single-seat aircraft.[1]

Design and development

Her structure was made of wood paraná pine wing ribs and beech stringers, and externally covered with varnished linho. The engine was a 7-cylinder 60HP Gnome rotary type, with wooden Chauvier propellers. The landing gear was fixed, with front wheels and rear fixed metal skid.[2]

It was built by J. d'Alvear with his own resources and completed in October 1914. The aircraft was registered by letter patent 8563.[3] The first flight occurred in November 1914 piloted by Ambrósio Caragiolla, who fatally crashed in February 1915 with this same aircraft.[1]

It was the second aircraft built in Brazil and, with the exception of the French engine and propellers, employed domestic materials and components in its manufacture.[1]
