[edit] Development

The Bü 133 was a development of the Bücker Bü 131 Jungmann two-seat basic trainer. It was slightly smaller and fitted with a more powerful engine, which gave it excellent aerobatic performance.

[edit] Operational history

The Bü 133 served as an advanced trainer with the Luftwaffe, its aerobatic capability suiting it particularly for early training of fighter pilots.

It was manufactured under licence for the Swiss Air Force by Dornier and for the Spanish air force by CASA. Approximately 50 aircraft were produced for each country.

[edit] Variants

  • Bücker Bü 133A: Hirth HM 6 inline engine: 135-hp (101-kW)
  • Bücker Bü 133B: applied to licence-built aircraft (only two versions were ever constructed of this variant).
  • Bücker Bü 133C: Siemens Sh 14A-4 engine
