 {| |} the adaro 1.e.7 chirta was a spanish military trainer aircraft built shortly before the outbreak of the spanish civil war. ==design and development== designed in 1934 in response to a spanish air force requirement as part of its modernisation programme, the chirta was a conventional sesquiplane, constructed of wood and metal and seating the student and instructor in tandem open cockpits. slightly tapered wings had ailerons only on the upper wings; unusually, these covered the full span. fuel was carried in an upper wing tank. there was a cut-out in the trailing edge of the upper wing for better upward visibility from the rear seat; the front seat was under the wing. a triangular fin carried a slightly rounded, unbalanced rudder. the tailskid undercarriage had faired wheels on v-form main legs. the chirta was intended to undertake fighter training and to be fully aerobatic. completed in july 1935 it was evaluated against the gil-pazÃ³ gp-1, loring x, and hispano hs-34 during 1935-6. it came third in the trials at cuatro vientos, so no production contract was awarded. no further examples were built, though the prototype survived undamaged until at least november 1936, when francoist forces captured cuatro vientos. ==specifications== {{aircraft specs |ref=howson |prime units?=met |genhide= |crew=2 |length m=6.50 |length note= |span m=10.00 |height m=2.5 |height note= |wing area sqm=17.7 |wing area note= |aspect ratio= |airfoil= |empty weight kg=480 |empty weight note= |gross weight kg=730 |gross weight note= |max takeoff weight kg= |max takeoff weight lb= |max takeoff weight note= |fuel capacity= |more general= |eng1 number=1 |eng1 name=walter junior |eng1 type=4-cylinder, air cooled inverted inline piston |eng1 kw=88 |eng1 note= |power original= |more power= |prop blade number= |prop name= |prop dia m= |prop dia ft= |prop dia in= |prop note= !-- performance --> |perfhide= |max speed kmh=180 |max speed note= |cruise speed kmh= |cruise speed mph= |cruise speed kts= |cruise speed note= |stall speed kmh=70 |stall speed note= |never exceed speed kmh= |never exceed speed mph= |never exceed speed kts= |never exceed speed note= |minimum control speed kmh= |minimum control speed mph= |minimum control speed kts= |minimum control speed note= |range km= |range miles= |range nmi= |range note= |combat range km= |combat range miles= |combat range nmi= |
