The FMA AeT.1 was an airliner built in Argentina in the early 1930s.

Design and development

The AeT.1 was a low-wing cantilever monoplane of conventional design, with fixed tailwheel undercarriage. Only three examples were built, christened General San Martín , Deán Funes , and Jorge Newbery . These aircraft provided Argentina's first scheduled airline services with Aero-Argentina, flying between Córdoba and Buenos Aires.

The Deán Funes was also used to make a long-distance flight to Ushuaia, bringing the first mail to that town after a flight of 6,500 km (4,000 mi).^{[ citation needed ]} Air France director Colin Jeannel flew as a passenger on that flight.
