Something I've never heard of was a Danish designed agricultural aircraft,that was drawn up for a New Zealand operator at the same time as the Fletcher was being designed,around 1952.It never left the drawing board apparently,but bears more than a passing resemblance to the FU-24.  www.natureandtech.com/?cat=36 |

Was probably a better design, too. Be easy to get roll-over protection in it, and the possibility of a payload coming through the cockpit in a deceleration would be drastically reduced.

Fascinating! I may have to hunt down a three view, it certainly is an interesting proposition! KZ.XI doesn't have quite the same ring to it as FU.24, but still... I love seeing paper projects like this, thanks for the link :-)

Looks similar to the Britten Norman Fieldmaster.

Stick that one in the mystery aircraft thread, that'll confound a few!

I like the size of his GPS screen in front of the windscreen! Or is it the video screen part of the inflight entertainment package?

I knew you did... ;D
GPS in 1952 was drawn on the back of a cigarette packet.
