Encyclopedia - Fouga Magister
The Fouga Magister first flew on 23 July 1952. An initial order for 95 aircraft was placed in 1954 by the Armée de I'Air. The first production aircraft flew on 13 January 1954, and over 400 Magisters have been produced for the Armée de I'Air since then. In total 916 Magisters were produced.
The Magister is an all-metal monoplane. The mid-mounted wings have single-slotted flaps and airbrakes extending from the wings. Of special note is the butterfly-tail, the angle between the surfaces separated at 110 degrees. The tandem cockpit is pressurized and air-conditioned, with individual oxygen supplies. Fuel is housed in two fuselage tanks, as well as in the wingtip tanks.
