Aero Boero 115 / 115/150

De¬signed and built by Aero Boero s.a. of Cordoba, Argentina, is the AB115, powered by a 115 hp Lycoming. Based on the three seat 95 hp Aero Boero 95, the 115 hp variant first flew ten years later in February 1973 with an Avco Lycoming O 235 and with alloy and reinforced plastic for engine cowls, flaps and ailerons. The AB115 by 1990 had a metal wing and fabric fuselage.
The AB115 was in production in basic training and recreational form and as the AB 115/150 higher-powered version that can undertake agricultural work.

Aero Boero 95 / 115BS

The Aero Boero 95 three-seater first flew on 12 March 1959 with a 95 hp Continental C-90-2F engine and production was initiated in 1961.

Versions built included the AB 95 Standard with a 71kW Continental C-90-8F flat-four engine. The AB 95A De Lujo with a 74.5kW Continental O-200-A engine entered production in 1963 and was to be manufactured under licence in Peru and Uruguay. The AB 95A Fumigador agricultural version with an O-200-A engine, a 55 Imp.Gal / 66 US Gal chemical tank and dusting or spraying equipment; AB 95B with a 112kW engine; and AB 95/115, which was similar to the AB 95B but with an 85.5kW Lycoming O-235-C2A engine, mainwheel fairings and a more streamlined cowling.

Aero Boero 115BS was a final production version of the Aero Boero 95 and 95/115 series. First flown in February 1973. Similar to the AB 95/115 but with a sweptback fin and rudder, increased wing span and greater fuel capacity, twenty-five were built. Production ended in 1976.

A further version of the basic design, the 95B with a 150 hp engine was under development.

The Aero Boero 95 is of all-metal construction with fabric covering overall. It can be adapted for glider towing.
