During 2000-2003 I was working for Letecká Továrna sro Prahaâ??Letřany (the oldest aircraft producer in the Czech Republic) as a leader of LT development team. Little flying truck Raven 257 for 800 kgs loads or carrying of 8 passengers (when I came not possible to carry more then two pilots and half fuel) was redesigned for lower weight and better performance by our team. First flight of redesigned proof of concept aircraft was done in the Spring 2002. Although main part of theoretical work for its certification was finished (including almost brand new design documentation) and proof of concept approved our design and conception changes, owner of LT was not able to create condition for finishing of certificable machine in real time.
