dbo:abstract
  • The WACO Classic Aircraft Corporation is an American aircraft manufacturer, located in Battle Creek, Michigan. It was founded in 1983 as the Classic Aircraft Corporation and is now called the WACO Aircraft Corporation. WACO Classic Aircraft builds, in relatively small numbers, a three-seat biplane, the WACO Classic YMF, based upon the original manufacturing plans which were filed by the Waco Aircraft Company with the Library of Congress and thus available. The aircraft are constructed at the W. K. Kellogg Airport in Battle Creek, Michigan. The company also repairs original "classic" WACOs and vintage aircraft. While the aircraft it builds is a longstanding design, WACO Classic Aircraft has upgraded many systems, such as the brakes, to newer and safer technology. They are built with much of the original hand construction methods and are sought after as a classical open-cockpit aircraft, but with modern digital electronics. To date, Waco Classic only offers one of several models of Wacos that were built. Over 100 new YMF-5C aircraft had been completed by 2007. In June 2009, the company announced the improved YMF-5D version, powered by a Jacobs R-755-A2 300 hp (224 kW) engine. The type was to be type certified in October 2009 and features a new MT-Propeller, a deluxe leather interior, new lightweight carbon fiber wheel pants and fairings, an upgraded avionics package and a cup holder. In January 2011, the company announced that it would put the Great Lakes Model 2T-1A-1/2 biplane back into production. The aircraft had not been available since 1980. The aircraft incorporates several changes including a larger cockpit and advanced avionics. It is equipped with the Lycoming AEIO-360-B1F6 engine. In May 2012, the company announced that the first production Great Lakes was being constructed and it was completed in June 2013. In November 2018, the company was acquired by the Florida-based .

  • WACO Classic Aircraft är en amerikansk flygplanstillverkare. WACO Classic Aircraft bildades 1983 i Battle Creek Michigan för att återuppta tillverkningen av flygplan konstruerade av WACO (Weaver Aircraft Company of Ohio). Vid fabriken tillverkas det tresitsiga flygplanet som har sina rötter i ett populärt sportflygplan från 1940-talet. Nykonstruktionen av den klassiska WACO modellen utfördes med hjälp av originalritningar som lånades från Library of Congress samt studier av tidigare producerade flygplan. Vid fabriken på flygfältet W.K. Kellogg Regional Airport sker monteringen av de nya flygplanen. Verkstaden genomför även reparationer och underhåll av tidigare originalflygplan från WACO. De nytillverkade flygplanen är modifierade med modern instrumentering, hjulbromsar och dagens säkerhetstänkande i kabinutformning. Eftersom flygplanen produceras helt och hållet för hand blir tillverkningsantalet relativt litet, och man blir begränsad till ett fåtal modeller av WACO:s ursprungsmodeller. (sv)
