The IPT-0 Bichinho was a Brazilian single-seat, single engined experimental sports aircraft. [1]
When Frederico Brotero took over the Seção de Aeronáutica(in English: Aeronautics Section) of IPT(Instituto de Pesquisas Tecnológicas), encouraged the creation of several aeronautics projects, and gave continuity to others that were stopped, one of them was the IPT-0 Bichino that was redrawn. The name Bichinho(in English: Little Warm) came from the idea of making the smallest plane possible. [2]
Brotero employed various construction techniques on this aircraft, it was built using freijó and pinho, with pointed wings, with hypersupportive aerodynamic edges on the leading edge. [2] This type of wing eventually became a signature feature in all subsequent IPT aircraft. [2] It was a monoplace, wooden airplane, externally covered with plywood and canvas, conventional fixed landing gear. [3]
Tests with the first prototype showed structural flaws, which had been solved in the other variants, a transparent canopy was also added. [3]
Data from Pereira, 1986 [2]
