__NOTOC__ The Buhl AirSedan was a civil utility aircraft manufactured in the United States that holds the first transcontinental non-stop roundtrip flight record in 1929 with the Buhl AirSedan "Spokane Sun-God". ==Development== The Buhl Airsedan was a civil utility aircraft manufactured in the United States by Buhl Aircraft Company in the late 1920s and early 30s. Later models featured gradually increased seating and larger engines, but all were conventional sesquiplanes with fully enclosed cockpits and passenger cabins. After Buhl ceased operations, the drawings and jigs were purchased and a small number of CA-6's were built in Canada by the Ontario Provincial Air Service (OPAS) for use as fire spotting aircraft. These differed from the original plans in having more powerful 440 HP Pratt & Whitney engines and Vickers floats. The prototype CA-3 Airsedan was flown in the 1928 National Air Races, and was purchased in the 1960s by Ed Marquart for restoration. The aircraft was modified for a Lycoming radial engine installation and sold to the Buhl family after his death in 2007. The aircraft was restored to flying condition by Andy Bowman in 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.airventure.org/news/2012/120722_rare-chance-to-see-buhl.html )〕 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「Buhl Airsedan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
