de Havilland Canada DHC-3 Otter Aircraft - photo wallpapers; Megawallpapers.org : The de Havilland Canada DHC-3 Otter is a single engined, high wing, propeller-driven, STOL aircraft developed by de Havilland Canada. It was conceived to be capable of performing the same roles as the earlier and highly successful Beaver, but was overall a larger plane. When de Havilland Canada began design work on the King Beaver [br](the Otter's original name) in January, 1951, it was trying to extend [br]the company's line of rugged STOL utility transports that had begun [br]with the earlier and highly successful Beaver. The single engined, high wing, propeller-driven [br]DHC-3 Otter was conceived to be capable of performing the same roles as [br]the Beaver, but was considerably larger, the veritable "one-ton truck" [br](in company parlance- the Beaver was the "half-ton truck"). Using the same overall configuration of the earlier and highly [br]successful DHC2 Beaver, the new design incorporated a longer fuselage, [br]greater span wings and was much heavier. Seating in the main cabin is [br]for 10 or 11, whereas the Beaver could seat six. Power is supplied by a [br]450kW (600hp) Pratt & Whitney R1340 Wasp radial. Like the Beaver, [br]the Otter can be fitted with skis and floats. The amphibious floatplane [br]Otter features a unique four unit retractable undercarriage, with the [br]wheels retracting into the floats. The Otter served as the basis for [br]the very successful Twin Otter which featured two wing mounted Pratt and Whitney PT-6 turboprops. The Otter received Canadian certification in November, 1952 and entered production shortly after.[br]Country of origin: Canada [br]_________________________________________________________________________________________________ [br]Engines: one 600hp Pratt & Whitney S3H1-G Wasp radial [br]_________________________________________________________________________________________________ [br]Wingspan: 17.68 m (58ft) [br]_________________________________________________________________________________________________ [br]Lenght: 12.75 m (41ft 10in) [br]_________________________________________________________________________________________________ [br]Height: 3.96 m (13ft) [br]_________________________________________________________________________________________________ [br]Weight loaded: 3629 kg (8100lb) [br]_________________________________________________________________________________________________ [br]Cruising speed: 222 km/h (138mph) [br]_________________________________________________________________________________________________ [br]Service celling: 4998 m (16,400ft) [br]_________________________________________________________________________________________________ [br]Range: 1520 km (945 miles) [br]_________________________________________________________________________________________________ [br]Passengers + crew: 9-11 + 1-2 [br]_________________________________________________________________________________________________
