The EM-11 Orka (''orca'') is a touring and executive aircraft manufactured in Poland. ==History== The EM-11 was designed by Edward Margański of Margański & Mysłowski Zakłady Lotnicze (''Margański & Mysłowski Aviation Works''), renowned for world class glider designs (Swift S-1, MDM-1 Fox). Work on this new low cost, light utility aircraft, of unorthodox configuration, with slim glider-like fuselage and two pusher engines, started in 2001. The plane was constructed of composite materials with a car-like 4-seat cab placed low over the ground, for convenient and easy boarding. Room for cargo was created aft of the rear seats. The first prototype EM-11, registered SP-YEN,first flew 8 August 2003. It has a fixed tricycle landing gear and Rotax 912 (100 hp) engines. The second prototype, registered SP-YEP, being a pattern for serial production variant EM-11C, flew 20 October 2005 with Lycoming IO-320 engines and retractable landing gear. In April 2011 EM-11C Orka was EASA certified and is currently in production. Prior to certification, the prototypes and three further aircraft had been built. Several variants are planned including, a patrol aircraft with an FLIR head, an air ambulance, a cargo plane, and an amphibious version. 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「Margański & Mysłowski EM-11 Orka」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
