Air Pictorial 1955-05 / Photos by request

DRUINE D-60 CONDOR. A typical modern French ultra-light aircraft is t.he Druine Condor two-seat, fitted in prototype form with the 60-h.p. Continental, but intended later to have a 90-h.p. unit. It is expected that the Condor will be available in kit form for group and private construction, as were the Turbi and the Turbulent.
Salient features: With pleasing lines, the Condor is a conventional low-wing light aircraft with a blunt nose and slab-sided fuselage. The propeller boss is covered by a small spinner, on either side of which are the intakes for the engine. The cabin is raised and has a curved windscreen. Wings have little taper, are square-cut, and have dihedral from the roots. The fin is tall with curved top, tapered rudder trailing edge and a small dorsal fillet. Tailplane is also squarecut and set on the fuselage top line. Main wheels are staggered outwards, and a small tail wheel is carried.
