History
It was the first aircraft designed by Willy Messerschmitt after the Second World War, answering a 1951 Spanish government requirement. The first flight was on 10 December 1954.
Variants
Hispano proposed the HA-100E for basic training and the HA-100F for advanced training. The ENMASA Beta radial powered the HA-100E and a Wright R-1300 the first HA-100F.
Where you'll see it
It performed well in comparative tests against the American T-28 Trojan, leading to a contract for 40 aircraft, but only two were built.
