Boisavia Anjou
The Boisavia Anjou (later further developed by SIPA as Sipavia Anjou ) was a passenger aircraft by the French manufacturer Boisaiva.
History and construction
The Anjou had been developed as a four-seat twin-engined passenger aircraft in France in the 1950s. It was designed as a low -wing monoplane of conventional design and retractable tricycle landing gear. However, of Boisavia designed as a touring aircraft, it found no market, so that only a single prototype was built. The rights to the design and the prototype were sold to SIPA, the revised aircraft and endowed with two Lycoming O -360 engines, although the machine could not be sold. At a time came in the increasingly twin-engine, all-metal construction to the American market, a fabric-covered Stahlrohkonstruktion was not date anymore, so the development was abandoned. Plans for a stretched version with three extra seats and Potez 4D engines were also not pursued further.
