Album info
The Zlin Z-43 is a four-seat, single-engine trainer-trainer aircraft, developed as a development of the two-seat Zlin Z-42. The aircraft was equipped with a more powerful engine, a larger cabin and wings with a longer span, which allowed it to carry four people. The first flight of the Z-43 prototype took place on December 10, 1968.
In 1973, one of the Z-43 was converted to a sanitary version prototype. It was to be able to carry a patient on a stretcher along with a medical attendant. The aircraft made its first flight in 1974. The project did not go beyond the prototype stage and did not enter series production.
