Description
For over 60 years the Douglas DC-3 and its civilian and military variants have have transported passengers, freight, food and humanitarian supplies throughout the world. No other aircraft excels the DC-3 in performing many of these missions, except the SUPER DC-3.
Douglas remanufactured 99 standard DC-3’s in the early 50’s for the Navy which greatly enhanced the performance of the aircraft. Some of the major improvements were new outer wing panels which were heavier skin and flush riveted. The Super 3 had a 3-1/2 degree wing sweep. The fuselage was elongated by the addition of a 40” plug in the rear cabin and a 39” plug behind the cockpit. Heavier landing gear and a retractable tailwheel were installed. Fuel capacity was increased from 804 gals to 1626 gals which gave the aircraft a 13-1/2 hr endurance. Also the larger and more powerful Wright 1820 engines were installed developing 1475 hp.
The Super 3 will fly at a higher gross weight on one engine (29,300 lbs.) with the gear extended than the standard DC-3 will fly on both engines developing full power with the gear retracted.
