The ICAR 36, variously also known as the ICAR M 36, Messerschmitt M 36 or BFW M.36 was a Messerschmitt design built and tested by the Romanian company ICAR in the mid-1930s. It was a small, single-engine high-wing airliner.

Development

In April 1933, Erhard Milch, previously head of Deutsche Luft Hansa was appointed Secretary of State for Air. Relations between him and Willy Messerschmitt had been bad ever since the cancellation and later re-ordering of the BFW M.20 by Luft Hansa, and the future of orders for BFW looked bleak. That summer, a visit was made to Romania where an order was placed by ICAR for the design of a small airliner, to be built by them in Romania. ICAR designated it the ICAR 36; Messerschmitt, working at BFW referred to it as the M 36.[1]

The ICAR 36 was a high-wing cantilever monoplane, the wing constructed with local pine and plywood-covered. The fuselage was metal framed and metal covered from the passenger cabin forward, canvas covered behind. The cabin held six passengers, with two crew forward. The main undercarriage was spatted, with long faired vertical struts to the underside of the wing.[1]

Power was provided by a 283 kW (380 hp) Armstrong Siddeley Serval radial engine rather than the Gnome-Rhone-built Bristol Jupiter of the same power originally proposed.[1]

Operational history

Only one aircraft was built. From 1935, it operated with the Romanian airline LARES on several internal routes including the Bucharest to Cernauti run.[1]
