The Sportavia-Pützer RS-180 Sportsman is a four-seat sport aircraft that was produced in Germany in the late 1970s.[4] The aircraft is a conventional, low-wing cantilever monoplane with fixed tricycle undercarriage.[1] The pilot and passengers are seated in 2+2 configuration under a large bubble canopy.[5] The structure is of wood, covered in plywood and given an outer skin of fibreglass.[1] Design and developmentRhein-Flugzeugbau (RFB) was founded in 1956. In 1976 it acquired the assets of Sportavia-Pützer, which had been formed in 1966 to take over from Alpavia SA the production of several light aircraft types designed by René Fournier. Sportavia-Pützer produced Fournier aircraft beginning in 1966, and in 1970 Fournier initiated the design of a new four-seat cabin monoplane, the Sportsman. The first prototype Sportsman first flew on 1 March 1973, but the second prototype, which made its maiden flight on 28 April 1976, was a completely redesigned version which was created by Sportavia. This redesigned model was designated the RF-6C Sportsman when it entered production in late 1976, and was renamed RS-180 Sportsman when a new empennage design was added in early 1978, following the fatal crash of the prototype in May 1977.[2] The extensive redesign included reshaping the horizontal tail and relocating it part-way up the fin,[2] changing the wing profile,[2] and removing the turned-down wingtips of the RF-6C.[2] In this form, the RS-180 gained German type certification in 1978.[6] Basic structure of the Sportsman is wood, with a low-wing cantilever monoplane configuration. The surface is covered with fibreglass. A fixed nosewheel undercarriage with wheel fairings is used. The cabin employs a large bubble canopy. At the end of 1980, Sportavia-Pützer was integrated into the RFB organisation, the RS-180 being re-designated FRB RS-180 Sportsman. Production was halted in early 1981, after fewer than two dozen units had been completed.[3][7] Specifications (RS 180){{aerospecs|ref=Wurster 2001, p. 89; Mondey, p. 218 |met or eng?=met |crew=one pilot |capacity=three passengers |length m=7.15 |length ft=23 |length in=5½ |span m=10.5 |span ft=34 |span in=5½ |height m=2.56 |height ft=8 |height in=5 |wing area sqm=14.5 |wing area sqft=156.08 |aspect ratio=7.60 |wing profile= |empty weight kg=640 |empty weight lb=1,411 |gross weight kg=1,100 |gross weight lb=2,425 |eng1 number=1 |eng1 type=Lycoming O-360-A3A |eng1 kw=134 |eng1 hp=180 |max speed kmh=320 |max speed mph=200 |cruise speed kmh=225 |cruise speed mph=140 |range km=1,210 |range miles=746 |ceiling m=5,400 |ceiling ft=17,715 |climb rate ms= |climb rate ftmin= }} Notes1. ^1 2 "Team Test 43: Sportavia RS 180", p. 88 2. ^1 2 3 4 Barnett, Field, Hurst et al. 1978, p. 1438 3. ^1 Simpson 1995, p. 378 4. ^Taylor 1989, p.839 5. ^"Team Test 43: Sportavia RS 180", p.89 6. ^"Certification du RS 180 Sportsman", p. 42 7. ^Mondey References
