HAL Pushpak

General Aviation and Light Aircraft

The Hindustan HUL-26 Pushpak was a 1950s Indian two-seat cabin monoplane designed and built by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited, based on the American Aeronca Chief. It was a high-wing braced monoplane with fixed tailwheel landing gear, a fuselage of metal tubing and a fabric-covered wing with aluminium ribs on a wooden spar, powered by a 90 hp Continental flat-four engine. It first flew on 28 September 1958. Around 160 were produced for Indian flying clubs to use as basic trainers, two were gifted to Malaysia and later sold to private owners in the United Kingdom, and those aircraft were still flying in 2013.
