The IAR-824 (originally known as the ICA IS-24) was a utility aircraft built in Romania in the 1970s.

Development

Developed from the ICA IS-23A, it was a conventional high-wing cantilever monoplane of all-metal construction with fixed tricycle undercarriage and seating for six people within an enclosed cabin.[1]

Production

The first prototype made its maiden flight on 23 May 1971[2] with the type gaining its type certificate on 13 May 1972.[1] It was exhibited at the 1973 Paris Air Show. Ten examples were built, including the prototype,[3] some of which were fitted with a tailwheel undercarriage for glider towing,[2] with five going to Romania's Aeroclub for training and glider towing.


Aircraft on display

The aircraft with construction number 5 and registration YR-ISF is on display at the Clinceni Airfield near Bucharest.
