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

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 towing, parachute training, transport, air ambulance, patrolling, crop dusting (with 500 kg of chemicals). Also a seaplane variant was intended.

The first prototype, powered with 265 kW (360 hp) Russian M-14P radial engine, was 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 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 I0-540 flat engine instead.

Survivors

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