The Hindustan HUL-26 Pushpak
was a 1950s Indian two-seat cabin monoplane designed and built by Hindustan Aeronautics Limited and based on the Aeronca Chief built in Middletown Ohio from 1945 to 1949. The Pushpak was a high-wing braced monoplane with a fixed tailwheel landing gear. Fuselage was built out of metal tubing and covered in fabric, and the wings were made using aluminum ribs on wooden wing spars, then covered in the same fabric. The Pushpak first flew on the 28 September 1958 and was powered by a 90hp (67kW) Continental flat-four engine. Around 160 aircraft were produced for Indian flying clubs for use as basic trainers.
