The IAR-813 was a Romanian trainer aircraft based on the IAR-811. It differed from the IAR 811 in having a bubble canopy and more powerful engine.
Following the flight of the IAR-811 wooden two-seat training aircraft in 1949, the design team at the Sovromtractor tractor factory at Brașov (formerly the Industria Aeronautică Română aircraft works), led by Radu Manicatide, began work on the IAR-813, a more powerful trainer of similar layout. The IAR-813 was, like the IAR-811, a low-winged, single-engine monoplane with side-by-side seating for the crew of two, but differed in being of mixed wood and metal construction compared with the all wooden IAR-811. It had a welded steel tube fuselage structure and a wooden wing, with the structure covered by plywood and fabric. The aircraft was powered by a single 78 kW (105 hp) Walter Minor 4-III air-cooled in-line piston engine. The IAR-813 made its maiden flight on 16 March 1950, and the type was certificated on 1 December that year. [1]
An initial batch of 50 aircraft were built for the Romanian Air Force from 1953, with a further 30 IAR-813s delivered to civil sport flying organisations in 1954–55. The type remained in use with the Air Force until at least 1955. 24 civilian aircraft were transferred to air-ambulance duties in 1961. [2]

General characteristics
Performance
The IAR 79 was a twin-engine bomber and military reconnaissance aircraft with a wood and metal structure that saw service in World War II built under licence in Brasov, Romania, by Industria Aeronautică Română
The IAR 14 is a Romanian low-wing monoplane fighter-trainer aircraft designed before World War II.
The SET 7 was a military trainer and reconnaissance aircraft that was produced in Romania in the mid-1930s. It was originally designed as a conventional single-bay biplane, with slightly staggered wings, a standard undercarriage with fixed tailskid, and a tandem open-cockpit arrangement for the pilot and instructor or observer. Power was supplied by an Armstrong Siddeley Jaguar radial engine, and from the outset the aircraft was equipped for wireless and photographic reconnaissance duties.
The SET 10 was a trainer aircraft produced in Romania in prototype form in the early 1930s. It was a conventional, single-bay biplane with staggered wings braced with N-struts. It was equipped with fixed tailskid undercarriage, and seated the pilot and instructor in tandem, open cockpits. Intended for Romania's aeroclubs and Air Force, no production ensued.
The SET XV was a fighter aircraft developed in Romania in the mid-1930s. It was a conventional single-bay biplane with staggered wings of unequal span braced by N-struts. It was fitted with fixed tailwheel undercarriage with spatted mainwheels. The cockpit was fully enclosed, and the engine was fitted with a NACA cowl. Construction throughout was fabric-covered metal.
The Bratu-220 was a Franco-Romanian prototype three-engined airliner of the 1930s, built in France.
The ICAR Universal was a 1930s Romanian two seat monoplane trainer, touring and aerobatics aircraft.
The IAR-822 was an agricultural aircraft built in Romania in the 1960s. Based on the IAR-821, it was a conventional low-wing monoplane with fixed, tailwheel undercarriage and differed from its predecessor mainly in the choice of a horizontally opposed engine in place of a radial.
The IAR-823 is a civil and military trainer aircraft built in Romania from 1974 until 1983. It is a conventional low-wing monoplane with retractable tricycle undercarriage. The pilot and instructor sit side-by-side, and two more seats can be fitted behind them. The type was adopted by the Romanian Air Force as a primary trainer, and was also supplied to Romanian and Hungarian aeroclubs and the national flying school of Angola.
The IAR-824 was a utility aircraft built in Romania in the 1970s.
The IAR-827 was an agricultural aircraft built in Romania in the 1970s and 1980s. The penultimate member of the family of designs that began with the IAR-821, it was, like the others, a conventional low-wing monoplane with fixed, tailwheel undercarriage, and shared the all-metal construction of the IAR-826. The prototype flew in 1976, powered by a Lycoming IO-720 engine, but the production examples that followed all had the PZL-3S.
The IAR CV 11 was a Romanian fighter prototype in 1930, designed by Elie Carafoli, and it was IAR's first original aircraft.
The IAR-23 and IAR-24 were low-wing monoplane light multipurpose aircraft with a conventional undercarriage, built by IAR of Romania.
The IAR-22 was a single engine basic trainer built in Romania in about 1934. It was a low-wing monoplane with two seats in tandem and a fixed conventional undercarriage.
The IAR 27 was a 1930s Romanian two-seat low-wing monoplane primary trainer designed and built by Industria Aeronautică Română.
The IAR-831 Pelican is a Romanian trainer aircraft based on the IAR-825 built for the Romanian Air Force. One airframe was built, bearing the civil registration YR-IGA.
The IAR-818 was a Romanian multipurpose aircraft based on the IAR-817. It was developed by IAR in both landplane and floatplane forms.
The IAR-817 was a Romanian multipurpose aircraft built in the 1950s.
The IAR-811 was a Romanian trainer aircraft built in the late 1940s. It was the first aircraft designed and built in Romania following the end of the Second World War.
The IAR-814, aka MR-2, was a Romanian designed and built twin-engined trainer aircraft built in the early 1950s, the first twin-engined aircraft wholly designed and built in Romania.
