High Wing Twin Engine Pusher 6 Passenger

Made you click, but it's not bait.. it existed! Found an old book and went down a rabbit hole



Cool design, aero commander esq, DINFIA IA45

As it turns out, DINFIA made some cool designs.. the one above was purported to have 6 seats, powered by two 180 hp Lyco, and cruise around 130 KTAS

Another *really* cool design was this, IA37


If anyone knows more about these, outside of what Wikipedia has, I'd love to hear it!

I clicked expecting to find info on Angel Aircraft. Woot, something new for a wikipedia rabbit hole dive!

That's too funny, I actually did make a post on here a few years ago about Angel Aircraft!

Not exactly a pusher but one of my dream machines:

I'd have to add multi-sea.

It's a really cool plane.. put that's "Lake" and many amphibs to shame, this actually looks pretty cool. They had one at Oshkosh a few years ago, cool to see a Russian GA company trying to make a go of it in the US market

I wonder how the pilot deploys those dock bumpers. Were they in the back seat for the flight? hiding in a nose baggage area?

That's cool as heck. It makes me want to buy a barrel of Corrosion-X though

 

[C-1 PILOT]

Ditch two seats, I’ll take one of these.

my subscribing to r/WeirdWings on reddit is basically like pirating that book

Interesting. Is it sea only or amphibious.??

It's in Russian, but this is a cool little demonstration of it

Ofcourse, for those who prefer turbines... THIS might be the ultimate man's plane

Cessna makes one as well.

Those Citations all look the same to me, which model is that? Hello insurance company, your jet is in the middle of a lake you should come get it.

Was this the one who's engine seemed to start by itself and it started swimming circles after the crew got into a small rowboat from shore?

What, pray tell, would you do with such a device?

 

[Tantalum]

^only be the coolest guy at the next pancake fly in

Probably be awarded Commander of the US Space Force.

Naw, that was OY-JET.

Naw, that was OY-JET.

That's right, I remember it had a funny tail number
