The Bradley BA-300 Himat was a proposed American canard homebuilt aircraft from Bradley Aerospace, introduced in the mid-1990s. The aircraft was to have been supplied as a kit for amateur construction, but it does not seem to have progressed to the prototype stage.[1]
Design and development
[edit]The BA-300 Himat was to have featured a canard layout, with three seats in an enclosed cabin and pusher configuration. It was to have a cruise speed of 400 mph (640 km/h).[1]
The BA-300 was to fit a belly tank that would hold 100 U.S. gallons (380 L; 83 imp gal) of fuel to allow a range of over 3,000 mi (4,800 km). The belly tank was to have also been convertible for other uses, including plans for drop-doors.[1]
Operational history
[edit]In April 2015 no examples were registered in the United States with the Federal Aviation Administration.[2]
