CAC CA-25 Winjeel Drawings

The CAC CA-25 Winjeel (aboriginal for "young eagle") entered service with the Royal Australian Air Force in 1955 as an ab-initio to advanced training aircraft. The Winjeel was developed by the Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation at Fishermans Bend in Victoria to satisfy RAAF technical requirement No.AC.77. Sixty two aircraft were built and given the RAAF serials A85-401 to A85-462. airplane drawings

CAC CA-27 Sabre Drawings

It was decided to power the aircraft using a licence-built version of the Rolls-Royce Avon. This involved a re-design of the fuselage as the Avon was shorter, wider and lighter than the General Electric J47 that powered the North American-built aircraft. Because of the engine change the type is often referred to as the Avon Sabre. To accommodate the Avon, over 60% of the fuselage was redesigned along with a 25% increase in the size of the air intake. Another major revision was in replacing the F-86F's six machine guns with two 30mm Aden cannons.

These modifications resulted in one of the fastest versions of the F-86. airplane drawings

Cessna 205 Skywagon Drawings

The line's combination of a powerful engine, rugged construction and a large cabin has made these aircraft popular bush planes. Cessna describes the 206 as "the sport-utility vehicle of the air." These airplanes are also used for aerial photography, skydiving and other utility purposes. They can also be equipped with floats, amphibious floats and skis. Alternatively, they can be fitted with luxury appointments for use as a personal air transport.

Between the start of production in 1962 and 2006 the total Cessna 205, 206 and 207 production has been 8509 aircraft so far. airplane drawings

Cessna 336 / 337 / O-2 Skymaster Drawings

The horizontal stabiliser is aft of the pusher propeller, mounted between and connecting the two booms. The combined tractor and pusher engines produce 'centerline' thrust and a unique sound. This unique arrangement negates any asymmetrical power problems usually associated with an engine failure on twin engine aircraft. It effectively makes it the same to fly as a single.

The military version of the 337 is the O-2. It was used extensively for Forward Air Control duties during the Vietnam conflict. airplane drawings

Hawker Hurricane Drawings

The 1930s design evolved through several versions and adaptations, resulting in a series of aircraft which acted as interceptor-fighters, fighter-bombers (also called "Hurribombers"), and ground support aircraft. Further versions known as the Sea Hurricane had modifications which enabled operation from ships. Some were converted as catapult-launched convoy escorts, known as "Hurricats". More than 14,000 Hurricanes were built by the end of 1944 (including at least 800 converted to Sea Hurricanes[2] and some 1,400 built in Canada by Canadian Car and Foundry). airplane drawings

North American and CAC
P-51 Mustang Drawings

Australia's Mustangs were a mix of imported North American Aviation machines, NAA kits that were assembled in Australia and a local production run of 200 machines built by Commonwealth Aircraft Corporation. The local production run took place through the end of the war.

Australian-built Mustangs are highly sort after in the Warbird fraternity as they were generally more carefully and slowly put together due to the lack of wartime pressures. Many are still flying and are often used as Unlimited class air race machines, some heavily modified. airplane drawings

Most of these profiles also appear in Cam Care's book The 'Stang: From Inglewood, Dallas and Fishermens bend. The 'Stang is published by Red Roo Models and is available from the Red Roo Models webshop.

PAC CT-4 Airtrainer Drawings

The 62nd machine was the first CT/4B, with detail improvements, mostly in instrumentation. The CT/4B was ordered by the Royal New Zealand Air Force (19) and the Royal Rhodesian Air Force (14). The Rhodesian aircraft were embargoed by the New Zealand government after being built and spent 6 years in storage before being sold to the Royal Australian Air Force. This caused financial difficulties for the manufacturer, which lead to the firm re-emerging as the Pacific Aerospace Corporation (PAC).

The CT/4 has proved to be an agile and capable military training aircraft. It is currently in use with the RNZAF and the RTAF and was formerly used by the RAAF (until primary training was sub contracted to BAE Systems). In Australia the type is commonly known as the plastic parrot, (a reference to its gaudy RAAF colour scheme—the aircraft is, in fact, of all-aluminium construction). Many former RAAF and RNZAF aircraft are owned by private pilots and by companies contracted to provide training for airforces or airlines. Some new-build CT/4s have also been produced for such private owners. airplane drawings

Piper PA-22 Tri-Pacer Drawings

Additionally, the Tri-Pacer offered higher-powered engine options in the form of 150 hp (112 kW) and 160 HP (120 kW) engines, whereas the largest engine available to the original Pacer had an output of 135 hp (100 kW). At the time the tricycle undercarriage became a popular preference and 1953 saw the PA-22 Tri-Pacer outsell the Pacer by a ratio of six to one. Due to the geometry of the nosewheel installation it is sometimes referred as the "Flying Milk Stool".

The Tri-Pacer is now a collectable vintage aeroplane that combines practicality with rag-and-tube flying. airplane drawings

Piper PA-28 Archer Drawings

All members of the PA-28 family are all-metal, unpressurised, single-engine, piston-powered airplanes with low-mounted wings and tricycle landing gear. They all have a single door on the copilot side (right), which is entered by stepping on the wing.

The first PA-28 received its type certificate from the Federal Aviation Administration in 1960, and the series remains in production to this day.

The subject of these prints is the Archer variant. Generally similar to the American Cherokee versions, the Archers have upgraded engines and now include a glass cockpit option. airplane drawings

Vans Aircraft Drawings

Van's RV series of aircraft, from the single seat RV-3 to the latest RV-12, are all-aluminum, low-wing monoplanes of monocoque construction. The RV series of airplanes has been extremely successful, with 7,497 flying as of December 2011[1], making the series one of the most numerous of all homebuilt aircraft. They feature responsive controls plus both good speed and fuel economy.

Van's factory is located at Aurora State Airport, Oregon. This airport is the location of an annual fly-in for Van's aircraft owners.The Van’s RV-8 is a tandem two-seat, single-engine, low-wing homebuilt aircraft sold in kit form by Van’s Aircraft. The RV-8 is equipped with conventional landing gear, while the RV-8A version features tricycle landing gear. The design is a larger development of the RV-4, and is similar in appearance to the earlier model. airplane drawings

Warbird Drawings

Although the term originally implied piston-driven aircraft from the World War II era, it is now often extended to include all military aircraft, both combat and support types, including jet-powered aircraft, that are no longer in military service. Vintage jet aircraft in airworthy condition are much rarer due to their technical complexity and running costs. Sometimes, the term "warbird" also applies to newly built replicas and reproductions of vintage aircraft, such as Allison V-1710 powered Yak-9s from Yakovlev, Me 262s built by the Me 262 Project and FW 190s by Flug Werk, and can, for earlier eras when military aircraft design was of a less complex nature, even include any one of a large number of different World War I and later military aircraft designs, up through the late 1930s in origin, sometimes powered by vintage engines from the era of the aircraft design being flown. Restored warbirds are a frequent attraction at airshows. Highly modified as well as "stock" warbirds can also frequently be seen at air races, since late-war fighter planes are among the fastest propeller-driven planes ever built. Some of the most popular warbirds for races are the North American Aviation P-51 Mustang, the Hawker Sea Fury and the Grumman F8F Bearcat.

These warbird drawings are all listed above under the appropriate type. They have been collected here as a separate grouping. airplane drawings
