Aero L-60 Brigadýr
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Aero L-60 Brigadýr (Czech: "Brigadier") was a small, propeller-driven Czechoslovakian STOL utility aircraft developed for both civil and military use. First flying in 1955 the aircraft's configuration bears a strong resemblance to the Fieseler Fi 156 "Storch" licence-produced in Czechoslovakia during and after World War II, and which this aircraft was intended to replace. By the end of production in 1960, some 400 had been built, including an improved version, the L-160 with an all-metal tail.
Aircraft retrofitted with a PZL-built Ivchenko AI-14R radial engine are known as the L-60S.
