From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Auster J-3 Atom was a 1940s British single-engined two-seat high-wing touring monoplane built by Auster Aircraft Limited at Rearsby, Leicestershire.
[edit] History
The Atom was an attempt to create a lower-powered version of the J-2 Arrow. A modified Arrow was flown with a 65 hp Continental C-65-12 engine and designated the J-3 Atom. Only the prototype, registered G-AHSY, was built as the aircraft was not developed.
