The Fanaero-Chile Chincol (named for a South American sparrow) was a prototype trainer aircraft developed in Chile in 1955 for air force use. It was a conventional low-wing cantilever monoplane of mixed construction with fabric covered wooden wings and tail surfaces (making extensive use of Mañío an indigenous wood). It was fitted with a fixed tailwheel undercarriage and was powered by a single 215 horsepower (160 kW) Continental O-470 air-cooled horizontally-opposed piston engine.
