Industria Aeronautică Română
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Industria Aeronautică Română (abbreviated IAR) was a Romanian aerospace manufacturers founded in 1925.
In order to ensure that the Aeronautica Regală Română (the Royal Romanian Air Force, or ARR) could continue to be supplied with aircraft in time of war, the government subsidized the creation of three major aircraft manufacturers in the 1920s and 1930s. The first was Societatea pentru Exploatări Tehnice (SET) which was formed in Bucharest in 1923. Next came IAR, which set up shop in Braşov in 1925. Finally there was Întreprinderea de Construcţii Aeronautice Româneşti (ICAR), which was founded in Bucharest in 1932.
Most known IAR design was IAR 80/IAR 81, a World War II fighter aircraft.
