About the WA-51 Pacific
The Wassmer WA-51 Pacific is a French single-engine, fixed-wing aircraft built as a four-seat cabin monoplane. Created by Société Wassmer, it suits private pilots and passengers looking for a light touring layout.
Originally starting from glass-fibre glider components, the manufacturer flew the first prototype in the mid-sixties. This initial test aircraft utilized a retractable tricycle undercarriage and alternative powerplant options before entering production with a fixed landing gear. Further development yielded multiple versions featuring various engine configurations.
