Walter Uetz Flugzeugbau

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Uetz U3M Pelican

The Walter Uetz Flugzeugbau was a Swiss aircraft manufacturer and design company.[1] From the 1950s it built the CAB Minicab and Jodel D.11 which it sold in Switzerland and Austria. It later produced the U2V, a modified Jodel D.119 with a straight wing.[1]

First flown in 1963, Uetz designed and built the U3M Pelikan based on the U2V, but it was a four-seater with a Lycoming O-290 engine.[1] The U3M was further developed as the U4M which had a Lycoming O-320 engine and flaps.[1] The company ceased operating as an aircraft manufacturer in 1965; it had built 29 aircraft.[1]
