LIPNUR NU-25 Kunang / NU-35
Страна: Индонезия
Год: 1958


Single-seat light monoplane
The NU-25 Kunang ultralight monoplane, which, like the Belalang, commenced flight testing in 1958.
Designed as an economical single-seat ultra-light training aircraft for pilots of very limited experience, the NU-25 Kunang first flew circa 1957-58, and was roughly equivalent to the Druine Turbulent in terms of size and performance. The same aircraft, “04”, was later fitted with a 35 h.p.engine and an enclosed cockpit with canopy.

The tapered wings and swept fin of the NU-25 Kunang were replaced in stages on the NU-35 Super Kunang, probably built using the same airframe, initially with a constant-chord wing of 25 per cent greater area and later an unswept fin, as seen here. An uprated 35 h.p. Volkswagen engine was also fitted.
