The IAR 14 is a Romanian low-wing monoplane fighter-trainer aircraft designed before World War II.
Design and development
After rejection of IAR 12, Romanian officials did not want to discourage eventual national aircraft production. Therefore, in early 1933, an unofficial message was forwarded from top levels to Brasov, essentially indicating that a small number of fighter-trainers would be purchased by the air force. The I.A.R. team immediately began to work on a new type, designated I.A.R. 14, still based on the experience gained with previous designs
The airplane was designed by IAR design bureau in 1933 and was an evolution from the IAR 12 prototype. It was
