Aero Boero AB-210 explained

AB-210
Type:Utility
National Origin:Argentine
Manufacturer:Aero Boero
First Flight:22 April 1971[1]
Number Built:2
Developed From:Aero Boero AB-180

The Aero Boero AB-210 is an Argentine civil utility aircraft, a development of the AB-180 with improved performance delivered by a fuel-injected engine. Unlike previous aircraft by this manufacturer, it also featured tricycle undercarriage, but retained the same general high-wing configuration. Only a single prototype was built, first flying on 22 April 1971.[2]

The aircraft was later re-engined with a more powerful Lycoming O-540 and redesignated the AB-260 (not to be confused with the unrelated Aero Boero 260AG). A second example was also built to this standard, but no serial production ensued.[2]
