Tugan Gannet
The Tugan LJW7 Gannet, also known later as the Wackett Gannet after its designer Lawrence Wackett, was a small twin-engined airliner built by Tugan Aircraft in Australia in the 1930s.〔Watkins 1961, p.600〕〔Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering 1988, p.498〕 It was the first Australian-designed aircraft to enter series production. It was also the first Australian-designed and built aircraft to be taken on strength by the Royal Australian Air Force.
==Design and development==
The Gannet was a strut-braced, high-wing monoplane of conventional design, with twin engines mounted in nacelles on the wings. The undercarriage was of fixed, tailwheel configuration with divided main units. The wings were of wooden construction, skinned in plywood, and the fuselage was built from welded steel covered in fabric.〔 The prototype Gannet underwent flight testing in October 1935, and was destroyed in a crash shortly thereafter.〔Mattingley 2007, p.10〕 The pilot and passengers perished in the ensuing fire,〔 but despite this, the Gannet entered series production.
The type was operated by Butler Air Transport between Sydney and Broken Hill〔 and at least one flew with Ansett Airways in 1943.〔Gerhardt 1961. p.678〕 RAAF Gannets saw service as survey aircraft〔Wilson 2006, 41〕 between 1935 and 1942 when they were converted into air ambulances for the newly-formed No.2 Air Ambulance Unit.〔"A14 Wackett Gannet"〕 The last RAAF Gannets were scrapped in 1946.〔
