Re: FMA IAe 33 Pulqui II
The continual evolution of the Pulqui II had resulted in the design team solving its inherent instability at high angles of attack, as well as increasing fuel capacity through the use of a [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien], to provide sufficient range.
However the fighter was now considered obsolescent, in addition to its being tainted politically by its association with

Consequently, the Argentine Government decided to cancel the IAe 33 project at the zenith of its development, instead acquiring 28 F-86F-40 Sabres from the United States at a "bargain-basement price" under the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien].
In 1960, after completing only 12 test fights in a new role as a transonic research platform, the last IAe 33 prototype was retired and placed into storage, bringing the Pulqui II project to a culmination.
The remaining factory tooling and incomplete airframes were summarily destroyed soon after.

Legacy
Despite not having achieved production status, the IAe 33 Pulqui II is still considered a significant aviation achievement because it was the first swept-wing jet fighter entirely developed and built in Latin America and, along with the Pulqui I, allowed Argentina to lay claim to becoming only the eighth nation in the world to develop such technology on its own.
What doomed the project from the outset was the machinations of a corrupt political system that used nationalist
fervor while bankrupting the country.
Perón's dreams of building Argentina into a Latin American powerhouse centered on the creation of "blatant and rich symbols of military power", such as the Pulqui II, are portrayed in a recent film documentary where the "absurd adventure of building a model of Pulqui stands for hundreds of other quixotic projects conceived in ...the 'workshop of underdevelopment': an intermediary zone between First World industrial production and artisanal creation, typical of underdeveloped countries."
One tangible long-term benefit that can be traced to the Pulqui II project was the creation of Argentina's fledgling aviation industry, now restructured as the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien].
