"Brigadier San Martin" S.A. and divested to the Government of Argentina. Aircraft design and production The FMA has produced innovative aircraft prototypes, but the state of the Argentine economy has usually prevented most of them from entering large-scale production. Nevertheless the FMA has managed to put several aircraft types of more conventional designs into full productions. It also engaged in production of licensed aircraft from other countries. The prefixes used for the aircraft locally developed (and produced) are: Ae, for "Dirección General de Aerotécnica", on the first period (1927–1936); F.M.A., for "Fábrica Militar de Aviones", on the second period (1938–1943); I.Ae., for "Instituto Aerotécnico", on the third period (1943–1952); IA, meaning not specified, on the fourth (current) period (1952 to present).
