| Apart from their contract for the R-83, the Spanish Republicans
financed development as the R-92 of a version
of the same design powered by an Hispano-Suiza
12Ycrs-l liquid-cooled 12-cylinder Vee engine rated at
900hp at 1900m. Similar to the R-83 apart
from engine installation, an increase in vertical tail
area, some local structural strengthening and the addition
of a 20mm engine-mounted cannon to the armament,
and in reverting to the gull configuration of the
R-90, the R-92 prototype was apparently transported to
a Sabena hangar at Evere, Brussels, for final assembly.
Euphemistically referred to as a "sportive plane" and
assigned a Belgian civil registration, the R-92 was flight
tested under the utmost secrecy by Jacques Lecarme of
the French Centre d'Essais du Materiel Aerien (CEMA)
before delivery to Barcelona in the summer of 1938. The
subsequent fate of the sole example of the R-92 is unrecorded
and no data are available apart from dimensions.
