The BN-2 Islander is a general aircraft with two engines and up to 10 seats. It was developed in the sixties as a multirole utility plane, especially suited for flights from dirt airports (islands, tropical rainwood, outback). Since then it is seen as the archetype of the "bushplane". In a production timespan of about 40 years and with more then 1200 produced units it belongs to the most successfull European planes. The surname "Islander" refers both to the layout of the aircraft for maritime climate and island transport (flying in gusts and crosswinds) and to the home of the Britten-Norman company in the British Isle of Wight.
