The Maestranza Central de Aviación Triciclo-Experimental (also designated XX-01[1]) was a prototype Chilean light aircraft of the 1940s. Design and developmentIn 1947, the Maestranza Central de Aviación, the Central Workshops of the Chilean Air Force designed and built the first Chilean-designed aircraft, the Triciclo-Experimental, unveiled in May 1947. The Triciclo, designed by Alfredo D. Ferrer,[2] was a low-winged monoplane of wooden construction with a fixed tricycle landing gear and a twin tail. The crew of two sat side-by-side in an enclosed cockpit, and were provided with dual flight controls. A single Franklin air-cooled horizontally-opposed piston engine drove a two-bladed propeller.[3] Specifications{{Aircraft specs
