Draco Aircraft, based in Warsaw, Poland, has been joined by Pratt & Whitney Canada (P&WC) in an initiative to market a production version of Mike Patey’s  prototype “Draco” short take off and land (STOL) aircraft. Described as a “beast of a bushplane” and a “fixed-wing helicopter,” Patey’s original aircraft was derived from the radial-piston-engine-powered Polish PZL-104 Wilga (golden oriole) from the early 1960s. It was distinguished by its tailwheel, high-wing configuration with long-leg, trailing-link main landing gear.

At right around $3M a piece, it’s pretty obvious who the target market is and it isn’t GA.

Quite agree with You, Mr. Joe5. Are some big aircraft or engines companies in the path to finish GA? And are some incredibly and people with no objectiv merits (whose the only thing they want is to be in the media) also have the same goal of those companies? Ridiculous!!
