Hi,


we know that Italian designer,Luigi Pellarini,and his series of PL aircraft,in that
PDF,they spoke about his aircraft and mention that the PL-13 was a low-mid-
wing light aircraft,but in anther site they mention the PL-13 as Air Jeep,who
is right?.


From long time ago,I knew the PL-2,PL-5 and PL-9 as little known aircraft
and projects,for example the PL-9 was a four seat twin boom project of
1958,unfortunately I have no drawings to them,except for PL-5.

The PL5C was also known as "Aerauto" ("Aircar") at that times, since its capability to recline wings and tour for some time like a mere terrestrial vehicle.

Luigi Pellarini immigrated to Australia because he believed of any country in the world Australia would most likely need Aircars (aka roadable airplanes). Which he never built in Australia but he did design and see built (in multiple iterations and several hundreds) his Airtruck.

Hi,

I don't know if his name is Carrozzeria Colli or Placido Colli ?.
 
"Carrozzeria" is Italian for "body shop" - it was most likely the name of his business.
 
From Ailes 12/1947,

a more Info about PL-2C.

Hi,

we know the PL-1 is not known well,so I found a more info about it;

http://www.avia-it.com/act/AreaRiservata/Segnalazione_articoli_2018/1-laerauto.pdf

His first "Aerauto": PL 1, was conceived in 1944; to his realization also collaborated the
engineer. Amilcare Porro, Mr. Bassi and la Carrozzeria Colli of Milan; the prototype was completed
at the aforementioned car body in August 1945. There is little information about the aircraft,
this was to serve essentially to make Pellarini understand goodness of the project and whether
the same could be carried out.
The PL 1 had a metal fuselage, wings with a flap of 8.40m,weight without engine of 86kg, 20CV
engine and was expected could reach a maximum speed of 140kmh. The fuselage was made up of
a beam in welded steel sheet (made up of two half tubes, obtained hammering the sheet, welded together along the upper generators and lower). The beam ran from the bow, where he carried the
small front wheel, up to stern where he supported the tail planes. A castle was welded on it
tubes that supported the wing and the engine, which was placed just above the edge
wing exit, and propelled a wooden propeller propeller. On the beam
also the attacks of the main carriage (of the tricycle type) were welded,
of controls and seat. At the front an ovoid fairing
in durall it formed the passenger compartment which was open and connected the wing and the beam.
During the tests the engine was discovered but its partial was expected
fairing. The rectangular wing with rounded ends was entirely in
steel and the joints of the various elements made by welding. Was
divided into a central trunk and two semi-wings foldable upwards.
The overall size was about 2m wide, 5m long and 2.5m
height. The tail planes were of similar construction to those of the wing. The
horizontal plane is braced with a montantino on each side. A Gilera engine, an aviation prototype, was installed on the aircraft 500cc, twin-cylinder opposite, two-stroke. The prototype was seen coming and
leave the flying field pulled by a Mickey Mouse. The engine however, a
Because of the incomplete tuning, it never provided power
necessary to make stable flights reducing them only to long jumps.

Please my dear Boxkite,

can you give us the date for those Projects,because as you see in his list,there was
many speculative designations,specially from the year 1952 and up,such as PL-6,
PL-8 & PL-10,maybe they allocated to one or more of them ?.
 
No speculation. There is no hint to the developing years in the text - sorry.
 
Two articles Les Ailes 1949 plus one article L'Ala 1948

P-11 Bennett Airtruck and P-12 Tansavia Airtruk agricultural airplanes have been well-illustrated on other threads.
They were preceded by the Kingsford Smith PL.7, also an agricultural airplane incorporating plenty of parts salvaged from war-time trainers. The key difference was that the PL.7 pilot sat in the rear end of the nacelle that also housed the engine and chemical hopper. Only a single PL.7 prototype was built and it first flew 21 September 1956.
