The IPT-5 Jaraguá, was a Brazilian sailplane aircraft designed with two seats in a tandem-seat configuration for general flying.
[1] Due to the war, all aircraft designers focused on new developments to achieve better performance for fighter aircraft, including the Instituto de Pesquisas Tecnologicas from 1940.
The institute's chief engineer, Romeu Corsini, worked with Clay Presgrave do Amaral, a glider design specialist, to develop an experimental sailplane that had a novel wing profile.
[2] The IPT-5 had a circular fuselage with a largely glazed aerodynamic nose containing the enclosed cockpit with two side-by-side seats.
The aircraft was designed as a mid-wing monoplane with a conventional tailplane and had a single wheel under the fuselage.
