PL-12

The PL-12 Airtruk is a distinctive agricultural aircraft manufactured by Transavia Corporation, known for its sturdy design and maneuverability. Designer Luigi Pellarini created the aircraft around a central barrel-shaped tank, which formed the center fuselage and hopper, positioning the pilot behind it. This unconventional approach resulted in a highly successful crop duster that also inspired utility and military variants.

Transavia Corporation manufactured nearly 140 units of the PL-12 Airtruk between 1966 and 1993. The aircraft gained popularity globally, finding use in countries like Denmark, Spain, and Indonesia for aerial application tasks. Its functional design prioritized safety and efficiency in agricultural operations.
