Abstract
Up to a few years ago the work in the aeronautical development department of the Brazilian Technical Centre had failed to achieve one of its major objectives, which was to produce a nucleus of trained aeronautical Brazilian engineers. This was largely due to lack of co‐operation from contracted foreign personnel and from opposition in some quarters where it was considered that the projects undertaken were over ambitious and unlikely to produce a successful production aircraft of immediate national use in a reasonable time period. The failure to achieve this nucleus team was a great disappointment to the Brazilians in their aim towards developing their own stable national aeronautical industry since this team would obviously have been the backbone of the envisaged industry.
