The Aero L-60 Brigadýr (Czech: Brigadier) was a small, high-wing propeller-driven Czechoslovakian STOL utility aircraft developed for both civil and military use.
A prototype, designated XL-60, with Argus As 10C engine, first flew on December 24, 1953, but it was not successful.
The plane was thoroughly redesigned and the second improved prototype, with M-208B flat-six engine, flew on June 8, 1954.
By the end of production in 1960, 273 had been built by Aero, including an improved version, the L-160 with an all-metal tail.
