Design and development
The IA-100 was developed as a result of a project to demonstrate FAdeA's current design and production capabilities, as a basis for a future indigenous training aircraft. The design was based on the German Grob G120 monoplane.[3] The outcome was a technology demonstrator that incorporated processes and materials common in many industries but still new to FAdeA, such as composite materials.[4]
In August 2020, the Argentinian Ministry of Defence named the aircraft "Malvina", after the Spanish language name for the, in English, Falkland Islands.[5]
