Development
editWillibald Weber began work on the W-151 in 1962, which flew for the first time in November 1962.[1] The original plan was to build three prototypes. Although the aircraft was superior compared to the Cessna aircraft, series production was not started for cost reasons.[1]
The W-151 was a strutted shoulder-wing aircraft with conventional tailplane and non-retractable nose wheel landing gear. The aircraft was powered by a Continental IO-520C with 210 kW and was made entirely of metal. The enclosed cabin for up to six people could be entered through a door on the left side.[2]
