The I.Ae. 25 Mañque (en: Vulture) was an Argentine assault troop/cargo glider designed at the Instituto Aerotecnico de Cordoba. The prototype was finished on 11 August 1945, flying only once before it was cancelled. Its structure was constructed with Argentine woods mañio, araucaria and guatambú.

Its design was based on the American military glider CG-4A Waco, its exterior configuration being very similar. It had a crew of two and carried 13 fully loaded soldiers.
