Westland Lysander

The Westland Lysander is known as an Army Co-operation Aeroplane, and the title explains its duties and also its design. The high-wing layout combined with the large transparent area in the cabin gives a splendid view of the ground. Flapped and slotted wings give the machine a low landing speed and an amazingly short take-off run, while the variable pitch three bladed air-screw takes it along at a top speed of over 200 m.p.h.
