Wild DoubleEnder

The Wild DoubleEnder is an American twin engine utility aircraft designed for bush flying. It was designed to be the ultimate platform for flying in a remote environment, where safety, performance, and visibility are all extremely crucial.

Design and development
The DoubleEnder is a two place tandem seat conventional landing gear equipped, high winged aircraft. The two engines are mounted in tandem on top of the fuselage in a push-pull configuration. The steel tube fuselage is fabric covered with a plexiglas nose. A 55 u.s.gal belly pod can be used to increase fuel capacity to 103 u.s.gal. A variety of wing configurations and lift devices were used during the development period.

History
The DoubleEnder project started in the mid-2000s when designer Alec Wild set out to design a modern bush plane. He started to design the aircraft in 2007 with the help of Doug Keller, and Eric Lewis. They started the design around 2007 and had finished the prototype by 2010. After the prototype was built, the aircraft saw many variants of wings, flaps, ailerons, spoilers, slats, tail surfaces, and more. The team even had plans to design and build multiple variants of the aircraft. The status of the project as a whole remains unclear and the aircraft's last known flight was in 2015.
