42,000.00Wilco Aviation is pleased to offer this Wittman W10 Tailwind, registration G-CEJE. Currently based at our facility at Henstridge Airfield in the South West of England, viewings can be arranged by appointment.

The Wittman Tailwind is a popular two-seat light aircraft designed for homebuilding. It is a high-wing, braced cabin monoplane with a tailwheel undercarriage. Constructed with a steel tube fuselage, wooden wings, and fabric covering, it delivers excellent cruising speeds while remaining economical to operate and maintain.

The Tailwind is the third in a series of high-wing aircraft designed by Sylvester J. Steve Wittman (1904 1995), a renowned air racing pilot and race plane designer. Wittman played a significant role in the development of homebuilt aviation in the United States through the Tailwind and other designs. His earlier models include the two-seat Wittman Buttercup and the four-seat Wittman Big X the latter of which was purchased by Cessna for its spring steel landing gear. The Tailwind also influenced the final design in the series, the O and O Special. A model of the 1965 Wittman Tailwind is displayed at the Sun n Fun Museum.

Wittman initially developed the C-85-powered Flying Carpet in 1953, which he later renamed the Tailwind . That same year, it became the first aircraft under the FAA s Experimental category to be certified to carry a passenger. Although its appearance may seem basic by today s standards, it outperformed many factory-built aircraft of the time. Only with the introduction of composite materials were newer designs able to match its speed-to-power and range efficiency.

In January 1996, Aircraft Spruce & Specialty Co. of Corona, California, acquired the rights to the Tailwind and became the exclusive distributor of plans and materials.
