| The Arava was designed to fulfil the need for a light transport with STOL performance and rough-field landing capabilities. The first prototype to fly took to the air on 27 November 1969. The IAI 101 civil-transport version was certificated by the FAA in 1972. The IAI 102, based on the IAI 101, accommodates 20 passengers in airline-standard configuration, although VIP configurations for up to 12 passengers, all-cargo and medical clinic for flying doctor services are available; together with versions for mapping, mining research, rainmaking and bridge construction, as flying laboratories for agriculture and health ministries, and for supplying oil-prospecting units.
The IAI 201 is the military transport version. The IAI 202 is a modified version of the Arava, first flown in 1976. It is longer, has a fully 'wet' wing fitted with endplate surfaces ('winglets') and a boundary layer fence just inboard of each tip.
By 1987 around 90 aircraft were built.

| Magnum78, 05.05.2012 03:03 The IAI Arava is an excellent aircraft short takeoff and landing, is multipurpose, can land on runways in poor condition, does not need much space to park or land and acquisition and operating cost is very cheap.
