The de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver is a single-engined, high-wing, propeller-driven, STOL aircraft developed by de Havilland Canada, primarily known as a bush plane. It is used for cargo and passenger hauling, aerial application (crop dusting and aerial topdressing), and has been widely adopted by armed forces as a utility aircraft. The United States Army purchased several hundred; nine DHC-2s are still in service with the U.S. Air Force Auxiliary (Civil Air Patrol) for search and rescue. A Royal New Zealand Air Force Beaver supported Sir Edmund Hillary's expedition to the South Pole. Over 1,600 Beavers were produced until 1967 when the original line shut down.

  • The original production Beaver used a Pratt & Whitney Canada PWC Wasp Junior radial engine, an engine first produced in 1927. When production ended, the Beaver was using a turbine engine. The two different enginings are usually the Piston Beaver and the Turbo Beaver. It generally came in the Land Beaver tail dragger configuration or the Sea Beaver floatplane configuration. In commercial service, the plane had two seats up front for pilot and co-pilot or passenger, a three-seat bench in the middle, and a cabin-cargo zone in back, capable of swallowing an ATV. Aft of the cabin-cargo zone is the tail cargo and fuel area. Ski and ski-pontoon operations in winter is used by some Beaver operators.
