Tras 25 sin desarrollar un avión, (el último fue el IA-63 Pampa), la fábrica de aviones militares de Argentina, FAdeA, tiene planes para el desarrollo de un nuevo avión de entrenamiento, que estaría destinado a sustituir a los Beechcraft y EMB-312 Tucano de la fuerza aérea, así como a los Beechcraft T-34C Turbo Mentor de la Armada.
FAdeA espera acabar el diseño a principios de 2011, y el primer vuelo se espera para 2013. La producción se espera para 2014-2015.

Some 25 years after it began work on its last aircraft - the IA-63 Pampa - Argentina's FAdeA has disclosed plans to develop a new trainer.
The company gave the go-ahead for the new IA-73 programme in late August.
Aimed at first replacing the service's Beechcraft B45 Mentor ab initio trainers, the IA-73 is also expected to later succeed the Embraer EMB-312 Tucanos currently operated at the air force's Córdoba flight school.
But with Argentina's air force, army and navy to soon merge their training syllabi, the IA-73 is also being tailored to replace other fixed-wing assets, such as the Beechcraft T-34C Turbo Mentor.
FAdeA plans to conclude the IA-73's design definition early next year, and to achieve a first flight in early 2013. The company expects to launch production of the type in late 2014 or early 2015.
