I am asking this because Lascurain remained very attached to his "blanded wing" concept till the very end, the Aura being the apex of his twin engined designs. <br /><br />To Vintage Aero Writer: a book on Ing. Ángel Lascurain could be interesting, even if some details might prove hard to dig, as most of his research was done on a private basis, although sometimes with input from the state-owned TNCA. Unfortunately, I am not aware of any title on this fascinating page of Latin American aviation.<br />P.S.: I think we first met each on Airminded blog (remember that thread about gas use in air control operations?)R.

I would like to add that I didn't originate any of the images or core data, I'm just passing on something I found thanks to other online sharing!<br /><br />Anonymous, that's a sad connection, but thank you for posting.Vintage Aero Writerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16563126840290182376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4841633648354600027.post-8028663523069050112011-03-14T15:38:51.859+11:002011-03-14T15:38:51.859+11:00I can't believe I a ran into this video.

My father went to the airport that morning to bring gifts for his friends and encountered Lascurain there. Lascurain insisted in testing the plane again.

A failed promise too... One can only imagine what might have happened had this design been successful and produced in series. Possibly a similar path to the one actually followed by the Brazilian aviation industry (now that Argentina has become a 2nd league player in this field, after so many years of interesting designs). <br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />R.R.
