Pilatus SB-2
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Pilatus SB-2 Pelican was a civil utility aircraft developed by the newly-formed Pilatus Aircraft company during World War II. Its configuration was slightly unusual, in that it was provided with tricycle undercarriage (an uncommon feature at the time), and a wing that had a slight forward sweep.
The prototype flew for the first time on May 30 1944, but no sales resulted.
