Designer | Yves Gardan |
The SITAR GY-90 Mowgli [1] was a light aircraft designed in France in the late 1960s and marketed for homebuilding. [2] [3] [4] Designer Yves Gardan intended it to be a smaller and simpler version of his Bagheera, [2] [3] [4] a conventional low-wing, cantilever monoplane with fixed tricycle undercarriage and a fully enclosed cabin. [2] [3] However, although the Bagheera had seating for up to four people in 2+2 configuration, [2] the Mowgli had no rear seat and could seat only two people, with space behind the seats for luggage. [2] [3] [4] Like the Bagheera, construction was of metal throughout. [2] The Mowgli was designed to use either a 67-kW (90-hp) or 75-kW (100-hp) Continental flat-4 engine. [2]
The Mowgli was available in the form of plans and kits, [3] [4] and plans continued to be available even after SITAR closed in 1972. [5] The first example was expected to fly in 1970. [2]
