Bradley BA-300 Himat explained
The
Bradley BA-300 Himat was a proposed
American canard homebuilt aircraft from
Bradley Aerospace, introduced in the mid-1990s. The aircraft was to have been supplied as a kit for amateur construction, but it does not seem to have progressed to the
prototype stage.
[1] Design and development
The BA-300 Himat was to have featured a canard layout, with three seats in an enclosed cabin and pusher configuration. It was to have a cruise speed of 400mph.[1]
The BA-300 was to fit a belly tank that would hold of fuel to allow a range of over 3000miles. The belly tank was to have also been convertible for other uses, including plans for drop-doors.[1]
Operational history
In April 2015 no examples were registered in the United States with the Federal Aviation Administration.[2]
