[1] The prototype was ready in April 1965, and flight testing began shortly thereafter.

It proved to be very interesting, but problems included the limited passenger capacity and the complicated forward-proof contraction mechanism.

The prototype was abandoned, and sent to São José dos Campos, and stored at Department of Aerospace Science and Technology for a few months.

Later the same year, it was modified by Brazilian Air Force engineers, and new tests were performed, in which it was successful.
