The Brutsche Freedom 210 STOL was a proposed American STOL homebuilt aircraft that was designed by Neal H. Brutsche and intended to be produced by Brutsche Aircraft Corporation of Salt Lake City, Utah, introduced in the mid-1990s. The aircraft was planned to be supplied as a kit for amateur construction.[1][2]
Design and development
The Freedom 210 STOL was to be a follow-on design to the single-seat Brutsche Freedom 40. It features a cantilever high-wing, a four-seat enclosed cabin, fixed conventional landing gear with wheel pants and a single engine in tractor configuration.[1][2]
The aircraft was to be made from aluminum sheet. Its Шаблон:Convert span wing was to mount almost full span Fowler flaps and feature a wing area of Шаблон:Convert. The cabin width was to be Шаблон:Convert, accessed via swing-up doors Шаблон:Convert in width. The acceptable power range was to be Шаблон:Convert and the standard engines used are the Шаблон:Convert Lycoming O-360 or the Шаблон:Convert fuel-injected Lycoming IO-360 powerplant. Kit options included a heater, upholstery, cargo tie-downs and floats.[1][2]
The aircraft was to have a typical empty weight of Шаблон:Convert and a gross weight of Шаблон:Convert, giving a useful load of Шаблон:Convert. With full fuel of Шаблон:Convert the payload for the pilot, passengers and baggage was to be Шаблон:Convert.[1]
The standard day, sea level, no wind, take off with a Шаблон:Convert engine was to be Шаблон:Convert and the landing roll is Шаблон:Convert.[1]
The manufacturer estimated the construction time from the supplied kit would be 1400 hours.[1]

Since April 2015 no examples have been registered in the United States with the Federal Aviation Administration and it is likely that none were completed.[3]
