The Bücker Bü 181 was a German trainer aircraft that first flew in February 1939. It was designed by Bücker Flugzeugbau, a company founded by Carl Clemens Bücker, a former naval officer and aviation enthusiast. The Bü 181 was named Bestmann, which means “deckhand” in German, and was intended to be a simple and reliable aircraft for basic flight training and aerobatics.
The Bü 181 had a low-wing monoplane configuration with a fixed undercarriage and a side-by-side seating arrangement for two occupants. The fuselage was partly made of steel tubes and partly of wood, while the wings and tail were of wooden construction covered with fabric. The aircraft was powered by a Hirth HM 500A or B engine, a four-cylinder inverted air-cooled engine that produced 105 horsepower. The Bü 181 had a maximum speed of 215 km/h and a range of 800 km.
The Bü 181 was widely used by the Luftwaffe during World War II, as well as by other countries such as Czechoslovakia, Egypt and Sweden. The Luftwaffe ordered more than 3,000 Bü 181s, but due to high demand, the production was also licensed to Fokker in the Netherlands and Zlin in Czechoslovakia. After the war, the production continued in Czechoslovakia as the Zlin Z-281 and Z-381, and in Egypt as the Heliopolis Gomhouriya. The Bü 181 was also exported to several countries in Europe, Africa and Asia, and some examples are still flying today as vintage aircraft.
