For the period of its production, aircraft Porterfield 35 Flyabout has sufficiently compact size - the length of the aircraft fuselage is 6 17 meters centimeters, while the wingspan of 9 76 meters centimeters. This factor provides a high rate of the aircraft aerodynamic shape, which in turn provides a high rate of aircraft maneuverability.

The first flight of a light multi-purpose aircraft Porterfield 35 Flyabout held in 1935 year - thanks to the qualified approach, aircraft manufacturers to implement the planned project, the aircraft could very well pass all the required tests, in connection with what is already in the same year started and mass production of aircraft of this model, which lasted several years, owing to the existing demand for data in aircraft.

The aircraft model Porterfield 35 Flyabout can carry on your board is only two people - a pilot and a passenger, thus, the real scope of operation of aircraft Porterfield 35 Flyabout was very broad - the aircraft could be used for transportation of people, small packages weighing up to 228 kilogram (without own weight the pilot), as the training aircraft, etc. The plane Porterfield 35 Flyabout military aircraft has not been used because of its relatively low airspeed and low maintenance characteristics.
