The Brutsche Freedom 40 was an American homebuilt aircraft that was designed by Neal H. Brutsche and produced by Brutsche Aircraft Corporation of Salt Lake City, Utah. The aircraft was intended to be supplied in the form of plans for amateur construction, with a partial kit available.[1]

Design and development

The Freedom 40 featured a strut-braced high-wing, a single-seat enclosed cockpit with a door, fixed conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.[1]

The aircraft was made from pop rivetted sheet aluminum. Its Шаблон:Convert span wing had a wing area of Шаблон:Convert and could be folded for ground transport or storage. The cabin width was Шаблон:Convert. The acceptable power range was Шаблон:Convert and the standard engine used was the Шаблон:Convert Hirth 2702 two-stroke powerplant.[1]

The Freedom 40 had 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 in the aircraft's wing tanks the payload for the pilot and baggage was Шаблон:Convert.[1]

To simplify construction, the design had no complex parts to make and no compound curves to form. In 1998 the plans sold for US$250.00. Completion cost for the airframe alone was estimated at US$3000.00 in 1998.[1]

Operational history

In December 2013 there were no examples registered in the United States with the Federal Aviation Administration and it is unlikely that any exist any more.[2]
