Walter Uetz Flugzeugbau
The Walter Uetz Flugzeugbau was a Swiss aircraft manufacturer and design company.Simpson 1991, p. 364 From the 1950s it built the CAB Minicab and Jodel D.11 which it sold in Switzerland and Austria. It later produced the U2V, a modified Jodel D.119 with a straight wing. First flown in 1963, Uetz designed and built the U3M Pelikan based on the U2V, but it was a four-seater with a Lycoming O-290 engine. The U3M was further developed as the U4M which had a Lycoming O-320 engine and flaps. The company ceased operating as an aircraft manufacturer in 1965; it had built 29 aircraft.

Uetz U3M Pelikan HB-TBV TOU 20
Uetz is a village and a former municipality in the district of Stendal, in the state Saxony-Anhalt, Germany. Since 31 May 2010, it is part of the town of Tangerhütte. History First recogninized it was in the Landbuch der Mark Brandenburg in the year 1375 where was stated: ''Usas has been desolate for thirty years.'' From the available writings it follows that the village of Uetz is very likely of Wendish origin, and the meaning accordingly: "Meadow between the waters" This explanation would be very appropriate for the village of Uetz, because in the past the Elbe The Elbe (; cs, Labe ; nds, Ilv or ''Elv''; Upper and dsb, Łobjo) is one of the major rivers of Central Europe. It rises in the Giant Mountains of the northern Czech Republic before traversing much of Bohemia (western half of the Czech Repu ... stream flowed into two broad arms, the Burger Arm and the Tangier Arm, to the right and left of the valley sand area on whose southwestern edge the village lies. ...

CAB Minicab
__NOTOC__ The CAB GY-20 Minicab is a two-seat light aircraft designed by Yves Gardan and built in France by Construction Aeronautiques du Bearn (CAB)Jackson Vol II, 1988, p.377 in the years immediately following World War II. CAB was formed in 1948 by Yves Gardan, Max Lapoerte and M. Dubouts. Design and development The Minicab is a conventional, low-wing cantilever monoplane with fixed tailwheel undercarriage, powered by a Continental A65 engine. Its design was a scaled-down version of the aircraft that Yves Gardan had designed for SIPA, the SIPA S.90. The pilot and passenger sit side by side and access to the cockpit is via a one-piece perspex canopy that hinges forwards. Gardan's intention was to produce a low-cost, easy-to-fly, easy-to-maintain aircraft with the possibility of homebuilding.Ord-Hume, 2013, pp.204-205 Production The prototype Minicab first flew at Pau-Idron on 1 February 1949 with Max Fischl at the controls. CAB manufactured a total of about 65 Minicabs whe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Jodel D
Société Avions Jodel is a French aircraft company started in 1946 by Édouard Joly and his son-in-law Jean Délémontez. History Jodel designed a range of light aeroplanes shortly after the Second World War. The popular myth is that the two industrialists, with no formal aerodynamics training, set about designing a single-seat aircraft with some spare plywood and a small engine, a Poinsard 25hp 2-cyl. The result was the 1948 D9 Bébé (Baby) model. In fact, the two had much experience of building and designing aircraft, Delemontez being a trained aeronautical engineer, and Joly having built an aircraft before the war. The French government bought many of the aircraft, with more than 500 D9s being built during the next twenty years. Subsequently, the government expressed interest in a larger aircraft as a trainer and the two-seat D11 model followed in 1950. Jodel aircraft are all-wood, usually made from Sitka spruce and plywood made out of okoume (also known as gabo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Uetz U2V
The Jodel D.11 is a French two-seat monoplane designed and developed by Société Avions Jodel in response to a French government request for a low-wing aircraft for use by the nation's many emerging flying clubs. More than 3,000 examples have been built and flown.Tacke, Willi; Marino Boric; et al: ''World Directory of Light Aviation 2015-16'', page 99. Flying Pages Europe SARL, 2015. History Designers Édouard Joly and Jean Délémontez based the design on two of their earlier projects; they combined the wing of the projected D.10 with a lengthened and widened version of the D.9 fuselage. The first example flew on 4 April 1950. Of conventional tailwheel configuration, the D11 featured a fixed, spatted undercarriage, and accommodated pilot and passenger side-by-side. The wing panels outboard of the landing gear struts had a marked dihedral. Various powerplants were installed, typically Salmson 9, Continental O-170 or Continental O-200. The aircraft uses all-wood const ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
