# IAR 27

The IAR 27 was a 1930s Romanian two-seat low-wing monoplane primary trainer designed and built by Industria Aeronautică Română.

## Design and development

Based on the earlier IAR 21 and in particular the IAR 22 but the design was simplified to allow for mass-production. The IAR 27 was a braced low-wing monoplane powered by a 180 hp (134 kW) IAR 6-G1 piston engine and it had two open cockpits in tandem. More than 200 aircraft were built and they served with both civil and military training schools in Romania.
