FMA I.Ae. 36 Condor [1] ( Spanish: FMA I.Ae. 36 Cóndor ) is a project of an Argentinean turbojet passenger aircraft . It was supposed to be the first jet airliner in Argentina and Latin America . It was developed by a team of engineers from the Cordoba Institute of Aerotechnics , led by an emigrant from post-war Germany, Kurt Tank [2] . The design of the "Condor" began in 1948 [2] . Work on the project was carried out under the patronage of Argentinean President Juan Peron , who sought to strengthen the national aircraft industry. The airliner was planned to be equipped with Rolls-Royce Nene II turbojet engines [3] . In 1953, construction began on the first prototype, but after the change of power in Argentina, the project was closed. The developments were used to create passenger aircraft Sud-Est and Boeing [4] .
