__NOTOC__ The Beecraft Wee Bee was an American ultralight monoplane designed and built by Beecraft Associates.〔 It was described as the world's smallest plane.〔 ==Development== The Wee Bee was designed by William "Bill" Chana, Kenneth Coward, and Karl Montijo. They described it as ''big enough to carry a man and small enough to be carried by a man''.〔 It was an all-metal cantilever mid-wing monoplane powered by a Kiekhaefer O-45-35 flat-twin piston engine.〔 It had a conventional tail and fixed tri-cycle landing gear.〔 The unusual feature was that the aircraft lacked any internal room for a pilot who had to fly it lying prone on top of the fuselage.〔〔 Only a prototype registration ''NX90840'' was built and the type did not enter production. The prototype was destroyed when the San Diego Aerospace Museum burned down in 1978.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beecraft Wee Bee」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
