IAR IAR-47

In 1940 three I.A.R.47 prototypes were under construction, intended to replace the I.A.R.39 in production. A low-wing monoplane recce bomber, the first was for static tests. The other two were of different design. They were a combination of the IAR 39’s fuselage with the IAR 80’s wings.

None of them were destroyed during US bombings, and at least one (YR-IGR) was still flying in 1956.
