The PZL 130 Orlik (Spotted Eagle) is a Polish turboprop, single engine, two seat trainer.

Development
PZL-130 Orlik TC-I of Orlik Aerobatic Team


The Orlik was designed by PZL Warszawa-Okecie as a trainer for the Polish Air Force. It was also designed to meet the American FAR 23 standard. The project was under the supervision of Andrzej Frydrychewicz, head engineer of PZL Warszawa-Okecie. The aircraft was originally designed with the Russian Vedeneyev M-14Pm piston engine but, since PZL-130 was thought to have some attributes of a jet plane, it was replaced by a turboprop engine. The first prototype Orlik flew on the 24 October 1984. In 1986 the Turbo Orlik, with a Pratt & Whitney PT6A-25P turboprop engine was flown for the first time. It was later equipped with the Czech-built Walter M-601E turboprop engine.
