The Britten‐Norman Islander: A description of the aircraft structure, the powerplants and the various aircraft systems

Abstract

Produced to meet the specific needs of commuter airlines or air taxi operators, the rugged characteristics of the Islander suit the requirements of anyone who wants an economical and reliable aircraft with a good payload capacity for operations over short distances. An integral part of this achievement is the possession of a low wing loading and a high power/weight ratio which confers S.T.O.L. performance features without complicated slots and flaps.
