Let L-610
The Let L-610 was a larger successor to the popular L-410 commuter aircraft, built in Czechoslovakia as a 40-seat regional turboprop. It had a high wing, tall landing gear, and rear baggage door for operating from rough regional strips. The collapse of the Eastern Bloc changed its market just as production began, and only a handful were completed. Its rarity contrasts sharply with the much more common L-410, which it was intended to replace.
