The Victa Aircruiser was a four-seat touring aircraft made by the Australian manufacturer Victa .
History and construction
After the success of the earlier Airtourer , Henry Millicer designed a four-seater version he called the Aircruiser. The prototype VH-MVR flew for the first time on July 18, 1966. Like the Airtourer, this is a low-wing aircraft with a fixed nose wheel landing gear , which was powered by a 210 hp (157 kW) Continental IO-360 H piston engine. Instead of the sunroof on the Airtourer, the four-seater aircruiser had a fixed cabin roof and a door.
After the construction rights were sold to Aero Engine Services Ltd. (AESL) the rights to the Aircruiser were sold at the same time. In 1969, AESL began developing a new aircraft called the AESL CT / 4 Airtrainer , a fully aerobatic military training aircraft.
