The Cessna A-37 Dragonfly, or Super Tweet, is a light attack aircraft designed and produced by the American aircraft manufacturer Cessna. It was developed during the Vietnam War in response to military interest in new counter-insurgency (COIN) aircraft to replace aging types such as the Douglas A-1 Skyraider .
The 25 hp (19 kW) engine gave the Dragonfly a sea level climb rate of just 235 fpm (1.19 m/s) and a take-off run of 900 ft (274 m). As a result of the performance deficiencies only seven were produced. [1] [2] Three Dragonflys were sold to private owners in the Seattle region after having their engines removed. [6]
The Dragonfly achieved maximum performance on low power, by using the new construction methods developed for the de Havilland Comet racer, and therefore was expensive to buy (£2,650). In modern terms, it was an executive transport, aimed at wealthy private individuals, often via the companies they owned.
