The Auster B.4 was an unusual British development of the Auster family of light aircraft in an attempt to create a light cargo aircraft. DesignThe conventional fuselage was considerably redesigned, turning it into a pod-and-boom configuration carrying the tail unit on a high boom. The rear of the fuselage pod was equipped with clamshell doors for easy loading and unloading, and a quadricycle undercarriage was fitted, retaining the mainwheels from earlier Auster designs, but adding a tailwheel to each side of the fuselage pod. The fuselage floor had fittings for seats, cargo tie-downs, or litters for the air ambulance role. Operational historyThe prototype was exhibited at the Farnborough Air Show in September 1953. Although evaluated by the British Army in military markings, neither civil nor military orders ensued, and no examples were constructed beyond the single prototype Specifications{{aerospecs|met or eng?=eng |ref=Jane's All The World's Aircraft 1955–56[1] |crew=one pilot |capacity=3 passengers, or freight, or litters |length m=11.28 |length ft=37 |length in=0 |span m=7.52 |span ft=24 |span in=8 |height m=2.55 |height ft=8 |height in=4{{frac|1|2}} |wing area sqm=17.6 |wing area sqft=189.75 |empty weight kg=746 |empty weight lb=1,642 |gross weight kg=1,182 |gross weight lb=2,600 |eng1 number=1 |eng1 type=Blackburn Cirrus Bombardier 702 inverted inline engine |eng1 kw= 134 |eng1 hp= 180 |cruise speed kmh=169 |cruise speed mph=105 |range km=480 |range miles=300 |climb rate ms=3.7 |climb rate ftmin=730 }} References{{commons category}}1. ^Bridgman 1955, p. 50.
