'''PZL-105 Flaming''' ({{lang-en|[[Flamingo]]}}) is a [[Poland|Polish]] [[STOL|short-takeoff-and-landing]] (STOL) utility aircraft designed by [[PZL]] "Warszawa-Okęcie". It remained a prototype.
The '''PZL-105 Flaming''' (''flamingo'') is a Polish [[STOL|short-takeoff-and-landing]] (STOL) utility aircraft designed by [[Państwowe Zakłady Lotnicze|PZL]] "Warszawa-Okęcie". It remained a prototype.


==Development==
==Design and development==
The PZL-105 was designed as a successor to a successful utility aircraft [[PZL-104 Wilga]], more modern and economical and offering increased transport capacity. The design was initially called '''Wilga 88'''. It retained high-wing layout of the PZL-104 and side doors opening upwards, but it is a completely new plane. Comparing to the Wilga, it has six-place cab instead of four-place and wings are supported with single struts instead of a cantilever design. The plane was intended for a variety of purposes, like [[Glider aircraft|glider]] towing, [[parachute]] training, transport, [[air ambulance]], patrolling and [[Aerial application|crop dusting]] (with 500 kg of chemicals). Also a [[seaplane]] variant was intended.

Also, a [[seaplane]] variant was intended.


The first prototype, powered with 265 kW (360 hp) Russian [[Vedeneyev M-14P|M-14P]] radial engine, was flown on 9 November [[1989 in aviation|1989]] (markings SP-PRC). An intended designation of a serial variant was '''PZL-105M'''. The second prototype, designated '''PZL-105L''', was fitted with a flat engine 298 kW (400 hp) [[Lycoming O-720|Lycoming IO-720]]. It was flown on 27 July [[1991 in aviation|1991]] (markings SP-PRD). There was also made one prototype for static trials.

Problems with funding at the outbreak of 1980s and 1990s, connected with a change of political system in Poland, and a priority of [[PZL-130 Orlik]] trainer program, caused, that the Flaming program was suspended and the production has not started. The factory developed a new variant of PZL-104, the Wilga 2000 with [[Lycoming O-540|Lycoming I0-540]] flat engine instead.

Metal construction braced high-wing monoplane, conventional in layout, [[duralumin]] covered. Semi-[[monocoque]] fuselage. Rectangular single-spar wings, fitted with Fowler [[Flap (aircraft)|flaps]] and slotted [[flaperon]]s. Six-seat cabin with three rows of seats, with large side doors opening upwards. Conventional fixed [[landing gear]] with tail wheel, the main gear is made of composite spring legs. Two-blade or three-blade (PZL-105L) metal propeller. Fuel tanks in wings (270 L).

The PZL-105 Flaming (flamingo) is a Polish short-takeoff-and-landing (STOL) utility aircraft designed by PZL "Warszawa-Okęcie". It remained a prototype.

Development[edit]

The PZL-105 was designed as a successor to the successful utility aircraft PZL-104 Wilga, being more modern and economical and offering increased transport capacity. The design was initially called Wilga 88. It retained the high-wing layout of the PZL-104 and the upward-opening side doors, but it was a completely new aircraft. Compared with the Wilga, it has a six-seat cabin instead of four seats and the wings are supported by single struts instead of a cantilever design. The plane was intended for a variety of purposes, like glider towing, parachute training, transport, air ambulance, patrolling and crop dusting (with 500 kg of chemicals). Also, a seaplane variant was intended.

The first prototype, powered by a 265 kW (360 hp) Russian M-14P radial engine, was first flown on 9 November 1989 (markings SP-PRC). An intended designation of a serial variant was PZL-105M. The second prototype, designated PZL-105L, was fitted with a flat engine 298 kW (400 hp) Lycoming IO-720. It was flown on 27 July 1991 (markings SP-PRD). There was also made one prototype for static trials.

Problems with funding at the outbreak of the 1980s and 1990s, connected with a change of political system in Poland, and the priority of the PZL-130 Orlik trainer program, had caused the Flaming program to be suspended, and production of the type has yet to have started. The company developed a new variant of the PZL-104, the Wilga 2000 with Lycoming I0-540 flat engine instead.

Design[edit]

Metal construction braced high-wing monoplane, conventional in layout, duralumin covered. Semi-monocoque fuselage. Rectangular single-spar wings, fitted with Fowler flaps and slotted flaperons. Six-seat cabin with three rows of seats, with large side doors opening upwards. Conventional fixed landing gear with tail wheel, the main gear is made of composite spring legs. Two-blade or three-blade (PZL-105L) metal propeller. Fuel tanks in wings (270 L).

Surviving aircraft[edit]

The first prototype and the second prototype airframe (lacking engine) are in a collection of the Polish Aviation Museum in Kraków.
