The Husky, conceptually based
on the world famous Super Cub, is a completely new
design, created in 1986 and fully certified in 1987. It
was designed to do all the things that the Cub pilot
used to say, "I wish it would do that!!!" - In other
words an improvement on the world's favorite airplane.
Over 650 have now been made and are in use all over the
world. The Husky is fully FAA certificated and is in use
throughout Canada, Australia, South Africa, all major
European countries, Asia, and several South American
countries. Used as an observation platform by law
enforcement agencies, power and gas companies,
environmental protection agencies and many others, it
also is proven to have the power to be a very effective
glider tug or to be used for banner towing, apart from
being used as just a fun airplane for the sheer joy of
flying. The Husky has a gross weight in excess of a REAL ton (2250 lbs.) ± 925lb Useful Load. *Standard features + right side landing light, rear seat and defrost kit, aft stowage, side baggage, bose and Garmin 530 = 1358 lbs empty. Source: http://www.aviataircraft.com/husky_aircraft_overview.html |
