'Fraid my library doesn't extend much into this century ! (According to my better half, I haven't quite got there either.......)

 

[pomme homme]

Then if it's Brazilian, does it run on rum? Maybe locally the IPE 010 is known as the Cachaça?

 

[lefty]

Aguardente, in Portuguese.......I occasionally have it in Madeira and you could fly jets with it........

 

[pomme homme]

..... or even crop dusters!

Hi all responders
Mike, if you are happy in the previous century, what is the problem then
What I learned from your ansers is that you also have a lot of knowledge of alcohol as well. My reference to that precious liquid was indeed the Ipanema as noted by Chris, in particular the EMB-202/202A Ipanemão Álcool which had an engine (O-540) modified to accept Ethanol won from sugar cane.
giroXX came up with the correct answer. Production was to take place by PlanAir Indústria Aeroespacial LtdA, a company specially formed in 2006 for the further development and production and it had been renamed the PL-010 CuranGO. (Did production actually happen???)

giruXX, when you have finished your drink .........

Here is a bigger number (that wasn’t built in big numbers and which didn’t appear here before, AFAIK)

I'm wondering why I think about Christopher Columbus when looking at that plane

 

[giruXX]

We both know why.

 

[lefty]

And so do I, now that I've discovered the right path..

 

[giruXX]

OK, someone go ahead and name the solution

 

[fabulousfour]

Ok then, the key to the right path is the

Keystone K-47A Pathfinder from West Indian Aerial Express, named Santa Maria.

There was also a cabin version of this wee plane, altogether less than a dozen were built. Both versions had a Kinner engine.

The company existed only a few years.

 

[giruXX]

I can't help thinking of a Red Indian ;-)
