Western Hirondelle

It is a low-wing cantilever monoplane with a fixed tail-wheel landing gear and seats two side-by-side.

It was designed for the Lycoming O-235 but accommodates engines from 100 to 160 hp (75 to 119 kW).

To the front of the main spar are strapped D-shaped fiberglass fuel tanks which can carry up to 12 imperial gallons per wing.

The main gear uses Wittman tapered rods and was designed to take standard Cessna wheel pants.

[1] The prototype weight includes an upholstered interior, a full electrical system and venturi driven gyros.
