The Partenair Mystere is a Canadian two-seat, pusher configuration monoplane that was designed by Partenair Design of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec and intended for amateur construction from kits.[3][4] Two prototypes were completed and flown and one kit delivered before the project was ended. One customer-built S45 was eventually completed and first flew on 10 November 2015.[3][1][2] Design and developmentThe Mystere is an all-composite, low-wing monoplane powered by a pusher piston engine. It has a pod and boom configuration with a T-tail and a fixed tricycle landing gear with wheel pants. The cockpit has room for two occupants in tandem with dual controls and a two-piece canopy and windscreen. The prototype S44 Mystere first flew on 16 November 1996 powered by a Rotax 912 engine. The second prototype S45 was powered by a {{convert|160|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} Lycoming IO-320 flat-four piston engine and first flew on 4 October 2001. The kit was to be supplied in three sub-kits made from primer-surfaced parts of low-odour epoxy. The construction time from the kit was estimated to have been 1000 hours.[4][5][6] Variants
Initial {{convert|80|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} Rotax 912UL powered version. Empty weight {{convert|700|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} and gross weight {{convert|1250|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}}, cruise speed {{convert|140|mph|km/h|0|abbr=on}}. The price of the complete S44 kit, including engine in 1999 was US$38,000. Only one prototype was flown.[5]
Second version with increased power. Acceptable power range {{convert|100|to|160|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}}, with the standard engine a Lycoming O-320 of {{convert|150|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}}. Kit price in 2003, without engine, was US$27,900. Only one prototype was flown.[3][6]
Third version with aerodynamic refinements, an increase in top speed to {{convert|180|mph|km/h|0|abbr=on}} and an increase in gross weight to {{convert|1925|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}}. The engine was raised so that the aircraft could accept a larger diameter propeller and to increase clearance between the tail boom and the propeller. The engine cowling was also re-shaped to smooth airflow into the propeller. These changes were all to reduce the original S45's noise signature. Kit price in 2003, without engine, was US$27,900. Only one prototype was flown and it was the original S45 prototype in a modified Mark II configuration.[3][7]
A proposed retractable gear model that was never built. The Mark III was announced by the company in 2003, with a first flight initially forecast for 2004. It was intended to have a shorter wing and accept engines up to {{convert|250|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} to greatly increase cruise speed.[7] Accidents and incidentsThe prototype Partenair S44 Mystère was involved in a fatal accident on 24 October 1998. While departing Montréal/Les Cèdres Airport, the Rotax 912 engine failed and the aircraft impacted the ground, killing both occupants.[8] This accident led to the aircraft being redesigned as the S45 with a Lycoming O-320 engine replacing the Rotax powerplant. Kitplanes magazine described the subsequent S45 as a "repowered aircraft for better overall performance and reliability".[4] Specifications (S45){{Aircraft specs|ref=Jane's All the World's Aircraft 2003-04, Kitplanes and The Incomplete Guide to Airfoil Usage[4][9] |prime units?=met
