General Product Description

Our PlaneArts CASA C212-200 Instituto Nacional de Tecnica Aeroespacia INTA model exhibits unique, unrivaled quality and detailed design to come as close as possible to the accuracy of the actual plane. It comes as standard with a robust, durable base or stand which is available in a variety of different finishes designed to match your own personal requirements including solid wood, wood with polished metal supports or adjustable wood wall mount and will be ready within about 9-10 weeks from placement of order.

The CASA C212-200 Instituto Nacional de Tecnica Aeroespacia INTA model is made of the finest kiln dried renewable mahogany wood (commonly known as Lauan or Meranti) which has undergone many stages of carving and meticulous and careful sanding giving the beautiful finished museum quality masterpiece. Many collectors and model connoisseurs demonstrate their preference for genuine handmade and hand painted mahogany wood models rather than plastic or die cast (diecast) alternatives due to the overall look and totally different feel of the item - we trust you will find the same. We can, however, if required produce the same model in Solid Cast Resin so just click and contact us us for further information. Our craftsmen and gifted artisans ensure that our finely handcrafted model airplanes match the precise blueprint details of the original aircraft. The paint scheme, markings and parts are closely matched, reflecting the original aircraft. This stylish top-quality desktop replica model will surely enthrall anyone who receives this as a gift and for sure one of the most appropriate and desirably collectable gifts for any aviation enthusiast and avid aircraft collector whilst also displaying a perfect resemblance to the actual aircraft.

If you require we can also make the CASA C212-200 Instituto Nacional de Tecnica Aeroespacia INTA model in any other airline, private livery or colour scheme you require and if necessary in a different size or scale. Just click here to contact us with a description or photographs of what you require, and we will let you have a quotation for the necessary customization by return email. We can also make bespoke scale replicas of any other private / civil commercial airliner or airliners, helicopter, glider, gliders with engines, military jet, warplane jets, propeller warplanes, biplane, triplane, tail fin, spacecraft, rocket or NASA model you require in any airline, military or civilian livery or colors. We also produce model airships, blimp, dirigible, blimps, boat and ship collectibles. Wall plaque or seal for military, government or private customers.

The INTEA’s CASA C-212-200: A Workhorse of Aerospace Research and Development

In the realm of aerospace research and experimentation, the Spanish Instituto Nacional de Técnica Aeroespacial (INTA) has long been at the forefront, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in aviation technology. One of the cornerstones of its experimental and research fleet has been the CASA C-212-200, an aircraft that, while unassuming in appearance, plays a pivotal role in advancing aeronautical science and technology.

A Versatile Platform for Aeronautical Innovation:

The CASA C-212-200, developed by the Spanish aerospace manufacturer Construcciones Aeronáuticas SA (CASA), is a medium-sized, twin-turboprop aircraft known for its reliability, robustness, and versatility. These characteristics have made it an ideal platform for various specialized roles beyond its initial scope as a military transport, including electronic warfare, maritime patrol, and, notably, aerospace research and development under the auspices of INTA.

Key Features Tailored for Research:

INTA’s adaptation of the CASA C-212-200 incorporates several unique features designed to support its wide range of missions in aerospace research:

• Modular Payload Capacity: The aircraft can be rapidly reconfigured to carry an array of scientific equipment and sensors, catering to different research projects, from atmospheric studies to advanced communications technology testing.
• Enhanced Avionics: To support its complex missions, the aircraft is equipped with advanced navigation and communication systems that allow it to operate in diverse conditions and environments, crucial for gathering accurate data across various scenarios.
• High Endurance and Range: The C-212-200’s ability to fly long distances without refueling and remain airborne for extended periods makes it an excellent choice for missions requiring large area coverage or prolonged data collection, such as environmental monitoring or disaster assessment.
• Short Takeoff and Landing (STOL) Capability: This feature is particularly beneficial for research projects requiring access to remote or undeveloped areas. The aircraft’s STOL capability allows it to operate from short and unprepared airstrips, expanding the geographical scope of potential research sites.

Contributions to Aerospace Research:

The versatility and capability of the CASA C-212-200 under INTA’s stewardship have significantly contributed to various fields within aerospace research. Projects have ranged from atmospheric research, contributing valuable data on climate change and weather patterns, to the development and testing of new aeronautical technologies, such as unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) communication systems and advanced materials for aircraft construction.

Moreover, the aircraft has served as a testbed for experimental avionics systems, propulsion technologies, and satellite communication integrations, laying the groundwork for advancements that could shape the future of aviation and space exploration.

A Testament to Collaboration and Innovation:

INTA’s use of the CASA C-212-200 exemplifies the institute’s commitment to innovation and its pivotal role in advancing Spain’s aerospace industry. The aircraft symbolizes not just technological achievement but also the collaborative spirit between various organizations, academia, and the aerospace sector, driving forward research that could benefit not only Spain but the global community.

As the CASA C-212-200 continues to soar through the skies, it carries with it the legacy and future aspirations of aerospace research, proving that even in an age where space exploration captures the public imagination, there remains much to discover in the skies above us.
