Hispano Aviación HA-200/220 Saeta/Supersaeta. The Hispano HA-200 Saeta was a 1950s Spanish two-seat advanced jet trainer produced by Hispano Aviación.
The HA-200 Saeta (Arrow) was the first Spanish turbojet aircraft. It was developed from the earlier piston-powered trainer the HA-100 Triana with the participation of Willy Messerschmitt. The HA-200 was a low-winged monoplane of all metal construction, with a tricycle undercarriage. It was powered by two Turboméca Marborés mounted side by-side in the forward fuselage and fed from an intake in the nose, exhausting from nozzles just aft of the wing trailing edge. The crew of two was accommodated in tandem in a pressurised cockpit, the first to be Spanish built and designed.
The prototype first flew on 12 August 1955, and the first production aircraft flew in October 1962. The HA-200A aircraft were delivered to the Spanish Air Force with the designation E.14. A single seat version (the HA-220) for the ground-attack role was developed and delivered to the Spanish Air Force with the designation C.10, first flying on 25 April 1970, remaining in service until the end of 1981.
The aircraft was built in Egypt under licence as the Helwan HA-200B Al-Kahira by the Helwan Air Works.
