The DINFIA IA 53 Mamboretá (Guaraní for "Praying Mantis") was an agricultural aircraft developed in Argentina by DINFIA in the 1960s.

Description

Script error: No such module "Unsubst". The IA 53 was a single-engine low-wing cantilever monoplane of conventional undercarriage configuration with fixed tailwheel. Accommodation for the pilot and a single passenger was provided under a broad bubble canopy.

Two prototypes were constructed, with the type making its first flight on 10 November 1966. No production followed, with FMA instead building the Cessna 188 under license.[1]
