Ganzavia GAK-22 Dino explained
The
Ganzavia GAK-22 Dino was an unusual light utility aircraft built in
Hungary in the early 1990s. In configuration, it was a
biplane with
cantilever wings and a very pronounced negative stagger, making it almost a tandem wing design. The pilot and a single passenger sat side by side under an expansive
bubble canopy, and it had a fixed tricycle undercarriage. The fuselage was of welded steel tube construction, and the wings of
duralumin, with the whole aircraft skinned in fabric, other than the forward fuselage which had aluminium skin. A single prototype flew in 1993, but the project was abandoned by the mid-1990s, with the aircraft itself placed in the
Transport Museum of Budapest (Közlekedési Múzeum).
