Plane Development Stinson 108 started by American engineers almost immediately after the Second World War, thus, aircraft manufacturers not only offered a very effective design for a future project of the aircraft, but also took into account the experience in the design of previous years that has created the present popular and sought-after aircraft which found application both in the private sphere as well as in business.

For the first time in the air, the Stinson 108 aircraft went up in 1946 year, while the aircraft fully satisfied all the requirements, so almost immediately it was launched into mass production. It should be clarified that when creating the project, American aircraft manufacturers believed that the aircraft would be operated exclusively as a commercial aircraft, but because the aircraft was suitable for private use, the number of adherents in this model has significantly increased. Nevertheless, in view of the fact that in 1950 the aircraft corporation "Stinson Aircraft Corporation" was sold to the company "Piper Aircraft Corporation"? The production of aircraft was discontinued, however, later, the design of the Stinson 108 model was implemented in the projects of the company "Piper Aircraft Corporation"? Which is very well traced.

Aircraft Stinson 108 has good aerodynamic shape, which makes it highly maneuverable and easy management plan, which was important for the owners. one pilot and three passengers can be accommodated in the aircraft cabin, but, in addition, the aircraft can also be used for transportation of various loads weighing up to 499 kilogram (including the weight of the pilot and one passenger).

As the power plant is used a piston aircraft engine brand power in Franklin 6A4 165 hp (Depending on the variant of the aircraft), which allows the aircraft to develop a cruising speed of 195 km \ h., And to overcome the distance to 820 kilometers (depending on version), which is quite acceptable.
