The development of the Stoddard-Hamilton Glasair I light aircraft was carried out by an American designer for four years, which in turn significantly increased the cost of the aircraft project, which was one of the reasons why the aircraft of this model did not enter serial production. In addition, since the aircraft was rescheduled several times over the entire development period, at the final stage, engineering flaws in the aircraft design were revealed that did not interfere with its operation, but in fact did not meet the requirements for light-engine aircraft of this type.

His first flight model Stoddard-Hamilton Glasair I carried in 1979 year, however, for several reasons, the aircraft was presented to the public only a few months. Initially it was assumed that the aircraft will be available as sets for self-assembly, however, due to the long development of the aircraft greatly increased the cost of the aircraft, which is why, even in the case of self-assembly of the aircraft, the price is not satisfied customer, and therefore the project was closed.

In the cockpit of small-aircraft Stoddard-Hamilton Glasair I can accommodate two people - a pilot and a passenger, which is also not suitable for commercial use of the aircraft, although himself an American designer called for subsequently creating four-seater version of the aircraft that is largely to increased demand for it . Due to the limited internal space, the plane Stoddard-Hamilton Glasair I also unsuitable for transporting goods, but for these purposes and it is not provided.

 

Aircraft Stoddard-Hamilton Glasair I

 

The power plant used in the Stoddard-Hamilton Glasair I light aircraft is a Lycoming IO-360 A1B four-cylinder piston aircraft engine capable of developing a thrust of 200 hp, which in turn allowed the aircraft to accelerate to speeds of 260 kmph. (maximum flight speed). In addition, a sufficiently powerful power plant made the aircraft very maneuverable, and at the same time made it possible to easily overcome even very long distances - the maximum flight range of the Stoddard-Hamilton Glasair I model is 1894 kilometers.

Subsequently, based on the model Stoddard-Hamilton Glasair I, in 1989 year, it was created a modified extended version, obrёtshaya great popularity around the world.
