About this aircraft:
The Dornier Do 27 was a German single-engine STOL-utility aircraft, manufactured by Dornier GmbH (later DASA Dornier, Fairchild-Dornier). Configuration was a classic high-wing, "tail-dragger" aircraft with fixed landing gear.
The Do 27 was developed from the Do 25, an aircraft originally designed to a Spanish military requirement for a light utility aircraft.
The Do 27 seated four to six and the original prototype first flew in Spain on 27 June 1955.[1] Most production aircraft were built in Germany, the first taking flight on 17 October 1956. The remainder (50) were manufactured in Spain by Construcciones Aeronauticas (CASA) as the CASA-127.
The German Luftwaffe and German Army ordered a total of 428 of the Do 27A and Do 27B (with dual controls).[2]
A later version with the same basic specifications but equipped with wider track landing gear was known as the Do 27Q-5. The aircraft was offered on twin floats as the Do 27S-1 and with a larger engine (340 hp Lycoming GSO-480-B1B6) and a three-bladed propeller as the Do 27H-2.
In addition to the military operators in Germany and Spain, a few were manufactured for other military and civilian operators.
The Do 27 was notable for being the first mass-produced aircraft in Germany after World War II. It was appreciated for its relatively wide, comfortable cabin and excellent short-field performance.
this model is made base on Donier 27 which use for Para jump plane, which sponsor by Pirelli tires.
