FMA I . Ae . 27 Pulqui I The I . Ae . 27 Pulqui I was an Argentine jet fighter designed at the " Instituto Aerotecnico " ( AeroTechnical Institute ) in 1946 . Only one prototype was completed ; unsatisfactory performance led to the aircraft being superseded by a later design . Design and development . The design was created by a team led by the French engineer Émile Dewoitine which included engineers Juan Ignacio San Martín ( mil . ) , Enrique Cardeilhac , Cesare Pallavicino and Norberto L . Morchio . The fuselage was semi - monocoque with elliptical cross - section housing a single Rolls - Royce Derwent 5 engine with the air intake in the nose and the ducting surrounding the cockpit . The reduced internal fuselage volume forced the fuel tanks to be installed in the wings , which resulted in a significant reduction of its range . Testing and evaluation . The prototype flew on 9 August 1947 with test pilot 1st . Lt . Osvaldo Weiss at the controls . The history of this aircraft was brief , as its performance was considered unsatisfactory and in the meantime the studies for the more developed FMA IAe 33 Pulqui II were quite advanced . Nevertheless , its role in the history of aviation is quite significant as it was the first jet combat aircraft developed and built in Argentina and Latin America . This made Argentina the 5th nation in the world to accomplish this task by itself . The restored prototype is currently displayed at the Museo Nacional de Aeronáutica de Argentina of the Argentine Air Force ( " Fuerza Aérea Argentina " ) , initially at Buenos Aires Aeroparque Airport and later at Morón , Buenos Aires , Argentina .
