Pasotti F.9 Sparviero

The Pasotti F.9 Sparviero (English: Sparrowhawk) was a four-seat, low-wing touring aircraft, built in Italy in the 1950s.

The two aircraft shared many constructional details and had almost the same dimensions and weights, though the Sparviero's nose-mounted engine extended the fuselage.

Engine layout apart, the two were very similar in appearance; they also both failed to reach production and only one Airone and one Sparviero were built.

[1][2] The Sparviero had an all-wood, low mounted cantilever wing of isosceles trapezoidal plan, built around a single spar and covered with stressed plywood skin, with differential ailerons and trailing edge flaps.

[2] The only Sparviero built, I-HAWK, was in private hands by April 1958,[5] based at Milano Linate and was still there in July 1964.
