The aircraft is designed to be stall-proof and spin-proof and is capable of a 25 mph (40 km/h) minimum flight speed. It was also the first light aircraft in America to be designed to accommodate a turboprop engine.[2]
The Skylark is all metal, with a steel tube internal structure. It incorporates shrouds, flaps, spoilerons, turbulator control, stabilators, elevators, and spinner duct cooling.[3]
Operational history
Test flights were performed by aerobatic pilot Marion Cole. He featured the aircraft as part of his Cole Brothers airshows. The aircraft is able to take off in 100 feet.
