The Hispano Aviacion HA-200 “Saeta” was a Spanish ground attack and training aircraft designed by Juan de la Cruz Martin-Albo, Rafael Rubio Elola and Willy Messerschmitt in the 1950s. The prototype, equipped with two French Turbomeca Marboré II turbojets and without armament, made its first flight under the controls of test pilot Fernando de Juan Valiente on 12 August 1955, from the runway of the San Pablo aerodrome (Seville).
The Ha-220 “Super Saeta” is the single-seat ground attack version of the Ha-200 “Saeta”, which was the first Spanish jet, the first Spanish aircraft with a pressurized cabin and also the first Spanish aircraft exported. The second seat was replaced by a self-sealing fuel tank, equipped with more powerful Turbomeca Marboré VI engines and containers for rockets and underwing mounts for launchable payloads.
