history
Willibald Weber began work on the W-151 in 1962 , which first flew in August 1964. The original plan was to build three prototypes. Although the machine was superior to its US competitors, series production was not started for cost reasons.

The aircraft was powered by a Continental IO-520C with 210 kW and was made entirely of metal. The closed cabin for up to six people could be entered through a door on the left.
