Notable Features
The two (Outback 2) and four place (Outback 4) aircraft both have the triangulated steel airframe with roll cage to protect the pilot and passengers. Safety and ease of flying are the special design features of these aircraft.
The drawings at the right are for the Outback 2.
The six place aircraft (Outback 6) takes its design from the new light jets. It has swept wings for speed, and its rotary engines face rearward, meaning that engine and prop noise, and exhaust all leave behind the plane. For a fraction of the initial cost of a jet, a fraction of the cost of fuel of operating a jet, and a fraction of the insurance cost of a jet, you can fly with the same 6 people plus baggage payload, in the same spacious comfort.
