Întreprinderea de Construcții Aeronautice Românești (commonly known as ICAR or icar), which translates to Romanian Aeronautical Design Enterprise, was a manufacturer of aircraft based in Romania. The firm was involved in producing both proprietary designs and licensed aircraft.[1]

History

Established in 1932 in Bucharest by Mihail Racoviță, Întreprinderea de Construcții Aeronautice Românești initially focused on aircraft manufacturing. There were plans in 1938 to rename the company to Uzinele I.C.A.R. — Societate Anonimă and relocate it to Transylvania, but these intentions were never realized.[2][1] The enterprise ceased operations during the early 1950s, subsequently shifting its production focus toward industrial fans.[3]
