"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. Due to its success, the Royal Canadian Mint commemorated the Beaver on a special edition Canadian quarter in November 1999."@en .

"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. Of the production run, about 1000 of the airplanes were sold to the United States Army, and in the Korean War, it served as air evac and general's jeep, among other roles. The British RAF's fleet of about 50 airplanes were taken out of service in 1989. For the 60th anniversary of the Beaver, the airplane called Olivia, named after the actress Olivia de Havilland, was restored into flying condition by Viking Air, after having sat in desert storage for 30 years. The actor Harrison Ford has a piston Beaver as his personal airplane. \n* de Havilland Canada DHC-2 Beaver \n* USAAF C-127 Beaver \n* USAA YL-20 Beaver \n* USAA L-20 Beaver \n* USAF U-6A Beaver \n* USAF U-6B Beaver \n* RAF AL.1 Beaver"@en .
