The Vulcanair VF600W Mission represents an Italian single-engine utility transport aircraft currently being developed by Vulcanair, located in Casoria.
Design and development
Derived from the twin-engine Vulcanair Canguro, the Mission features a solitary Walter M601F-11 turboprop engine coupled with a five-bladed Avia propeller. It is designed as a high-wing braced monoplane equipped with fixed tricycle landing gear and accommodates between 10 and 16 passengers.
Its maiden flight occurred on 4 December 2002. The prototype sustained damage during an accident at Casandrino on 19 December 2003.
In September 2006, Vulcanair's sales director confirmed that the VF600W programme remained active despite setbacks and limited company resources. Test flights were anticipated to recommence in August 2006, after which an updated certification timeline was expected to be announced.
By March 2019, the aircraft no longer appeared on the manufacturer's website, and no recent updates had been provided by the company.
