About the Aircraft: The Model 500-D, first flown in 1974, is similar in size and "egg-shaped" appearance to the Model 500-C; but the engine and other mechanical modifications gave rise to the ship being called by the marketing title of "The Quiet One." A small T-tail gave this model greater flight stability.
