His appearance and design, the aircraft is not much different from other members of the single-engine aircraft of this era, however. in fact, the aircraft is multi-purpose in terms of their operation, and therefore, considered quite modern expert effective and popular.

In 30-x - 50-ies of the last century, the aircraft is actively used by a number of international airlines for their flights, in particular, this is due to high passenger capacity, the ability to carry large loads, as well as to land on the water, which in turn is very effective given the fact that the aircraft increasingly expected to operate in the territory of Canada itself, where the division of the island is very well defined.

Depending on the modification, Norseman can accommodate up to 10 passengers aboard the Noorduyn aircraft, which in turn provided carriers with the ability to carry out not only air travel on local lines, but also operate in an interregional framework. Only one pilot was required to operate the aircraft, which in turn did not cause additional costs and expenses for commercial air operators, and was more than effective. If necessary, the aircraft could carry on its board and 1434 kilogram of payload, which was also considered very effective and rational, and the maximum range of this aircraft is, depending on the modification and version of the aircraft, up to 1,5 thousand kilometers.

The power plant of the Noorduyn Norseman aircraft is represented by one piston radial 9-cylinder Pratt & Whitney R-1340-AN1 aircraft engine capable of developing 600 hp, which in turn provided the aircraft with a fairly impressive flight speed, reaching maximum values of about 275 km \ h. The engine of the Noorduyn Norseman aircraft is quite simple in terms of its use, but at the same time it has high reliability, which is why, even despite more than 80 years of operation of the aircraft of this model, it can still be used today.
