SITAR GY-110 Sher Khan

The SITAR GY-110 Sher Khan^[1] was a light aircraft designed in France in the late 1960s as a larger and more powerful version of designer Yves Gardan's Bagheera.^[2][3][4] Like the Bagheera, it was to be a conventional low-wing, cantilever monoplane with a fully enclosed cabin.^[2][3] However, although the Bagheera had seating for up to four people in 2+2 configuration,^[2] the Sher Khan was to have a stretched fuselage^[2] with full seating for four people.^[2][3][4] The wingspan was also to be enlarged,^[2] and unlike the Bagheera, whose tricycle undercarriage was fixed, the Sher Khan's was to be retractable.^[2][4]

Power was to be supplied by engines in the 150-kW to 240-kW (200-hp to 300-hp) range.^[4]
