Project "Raven" accelerates - part 5.

We have for you another batch of photos from the workshop - straight from Mr. Henryk Wicki! Reconstruction of our PZL-106 "Raven" is not only technical work, but also passion, precision and great commitment. Thanks to the systematic progress, today we can share the next stages of the reconstruction.

Let's slowly begin to enter the history of this unique aircraft.

The development of agricultural aviation in Poland and the Comecon countries, as well as the development of exports of Polish agro-aircraft services to African countries, led to an increase in demand for an agricultural aircraft with medium lift capacity. In view of the end of production of the PZL-101 "Gawron" agricultural aircraft with a smaller payload, a new PZL-106 "Kruk 71" aircraft with better performance characteristics was designed at WSK-PZL Okęcie under the direction of Andrzej Frydrychewicz, M.Sc., Eng. It was the first Polish agricultural aircraft of the second generation with a safe structural system: engine-chemical tank-pilot cabin.
