EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Smith DSA-1 Miniplane N90P, also known as msn FWS-1, a diminutive aircraft built in 1956. The DSA-1 Miniplane, fondly referred to as the "Darn Small Airplane," is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of aviation engineering during the mid-20th century. With its registration cancelled on May 17, 2013, this image transports us back in time to around 1970 when the Miniplane was still in use. The Smith DSA-1 Miniplane was a unique design, engineered by Paul P. Smith, with a wingspan of just 12 feet and a length of only 14 feet. It was powered by a 35 horsepower engine and could reach speeds of up to 65 miles per hour. The Miniplane was popular among hobbyists and amateur pilots due to its affordability and ease of use. Despite its small size, the Miniplane was capable of impressive feats, including short takeoffs and landings, making it an ideal choice for those with limited space or resources. The aircraft's open cockpit design and simple controls added to its appeal, offering a pure flying experience. This photograph captures the Miniplane in its element, soaring through the clear blue sky against a backdrop of rolling hills and open fields. The image is a reminder of a bygone era in aviation history when small, lightweight aircraft like the Smith DSA-1 Miniplane reigned supreme, inspiring a new generation of pilots and engineers to explore the limitless possibilities of flight.
