Design and development
Britten-Norman was started in 1953 to convert and operate agricultural aircraft. It also produced hovercraft ([Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien], later sold to the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]).
Design of the Islander started in 1963 and the first prototype BN-2 first flew on 13 June 1965, with the second prototype on 20 August 1966. Both of these aircraft had engines that were less powerful than the production versions.
The Islander is a high-wing cantilever monoplane with a rectangular fuselage and two wing-mounted engines.
The fuselage, which has a conventional tail unit and fixed tricycle landing gear, will usually accommodate one
pilot and up to nine passengers.[Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien]

The production Islander first flew on 24 April 1967 and was certified in August 1967.
Production started at the Britten-Norman factory at [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien], Isle of Wight but within a few years the company could not keep up with demand; a contract was placed with IRMA of Romania, initially to produce aircraft from a kit of parts but the Romanian factory soon became the main source for production Islanders.
A military version of the Islander, marketed as the [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] and first flown in 1970, had underwing [Vous devez être inscrit et connecté pour voir ce lien] and was fitted out as a light troop transport and support aircraft.
