BUCKER 133 C "GREEN STRIPE"

The Bucker Bu 133 was a German, single-seat, biplane trainer with a fixed undercarriage from the interwar period and World War II in a mixed design. The drive was provided - in the basic version - by a single Hirth HM-6 engine with 135 HP. The plane did not have on-board weapons. The Bucker Bu 133 was developed as a development of the Bu 131 two-seater aircraft. Compared to its predecessor, the Bu 133 had a one-person pilot's cabin, a more powerful engine and was slightly smaller. It was used as an advanced training machine. He also had very large possibilities in the field of aerobatics, which were used on a large scale during the training process. In the course of serial production in Germany, three main versions of this aircraft were created: Bu 131 A (basic version), Bu 131 B (only two were built) and Bu 131 C (powered by the Siemens Halske Sh.14A-4 engine with 160 HP). . The aircraft was also licensed in Spain and Switzerland.
