The Uetz Pelikan is a Swiss four-seat cabin monoplane designed for amateur construction by Walter Uetz.
The Pelikan is a four-seat development of the earlier Uetz U2V which had been based on the Jodel D.119. [1] The prototype U3M Pelikan had four-seat cabin with a long transparent canopy. [1] The fixed tail-wheel landing gear U3M is powered by a 135 hp (101 kW) Lycoming O-290 engine and the prototype first flew 21 May 1963, it was followed by a further prototype. [1]
The production variant was designated the U4M which was re-engined with a 150 hp (112 kW) Lycoming O-320-A2B engine and the addition of flaps. The company built two aircraft and one other was amateur-built. [1]
