The Bücker Bü 133 Jungmeister was an advanced trainer of the Luftwaffe in the 1930s. It was a single-engine, single-seat biplane of wood and tubular steel construction and covered in fabric. The Bü 133 was a development of the Bücker Bü 131 Jungmann two-seat basic trainer.

First flown in 1935 (by Luise Hoffmann, the first female works pilot in Germany), it was slightly smaller than the Bü 131. The prototype, D-EVEO, was powered by a 140 hp (104 kW) Hirth HM506 inverted, air-cooled inline-6 engine. The aircraft showed "astonishing agility" at its first public appearance, the 1936 International Aerobatic Championship at Rangsdorf, but the Bü 133A garnered no orders; only two Bü 133Bs, with 160 hp (119 kW) version of that same Hirth HM506 inline-6 engine, were built. The main production type was the 160 hp (119 kW) Siemens-Bramo Sh 14A radial powered Bü 133C, which had a distinctive cowling and a 13 cm (5.1 in)-shorter fuselage, and the same fine aerobatic performance as the Bü 133A.
The Bucker Bu 133 was a German, single-seat, biplane trainer with a fixed undercarriage from the interwar period and World War II in a mixed design. The drive was provided - in the basic version - by a single Hirth HM-6 engine with 135 HP. The plane did not have on-board weapons.
The Bucker Bu 133 was developed as a development of the Bu 131 two-seater aircraft. Compared to its predecessor, the Bu 133 had a one-person pilot's cabin, a more powerful engine and was slightly smaller. It was used as an advanced training machine. He also had very large possibilities in the field of aerobatics, which were used on a large scale during the training process. In the course of serial production in Germany, three main versions of this aircraft were created: Bu 131 A (basic version), Bu 131 B (only two were built) and Bu 131 C (powered by the Siemens Halske Sh.14A-4 engine with 160 HP). . The aircraft was also licensed in Spain and Switzerland.
