Airtech Canada
Canadian aerospace engineering firm
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Airtech Canada is a Canadian aerospace engineering firm established at the Peterborough Airport, Ontario in 1977. The company specializes in the design, engineering, assembly, manufacture, modification, repair, and marketing of aircraft and aviation products.[1][2] It has also marketed conversions for popular radial-engined transport aircraft such as the Douglas DC-3, de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver and de Havilland Canada DHC-3 Otter.
One of Airtech Canada's significant contributions is the DHC-3/1000 Otter conversion, which replaces the original Pratt & Whitney R-1340 radial engine with a 1,000 hp Polish-manufactured PZL ASz-62IR radial engine.[3] The conversion is certified in Canada and the United States and is utilized in various configurations, including wheel, ski, and floatplane setups.[4]
