The Optica is a light civilian observation aircraft meant to be a relatively low-cost alternative to helicopters. 25 examples of this unique and innovative aircraft were built in the late 70's through mid 80's: 2 prototypes + 23 production aircraft. This model is a hybrid of Opticas rather than a particular series because information about this rare aircraft is equally rare. To build up a reasonable picture of the Optica, I've had to use as many sources as possible. I label it as an OA7 due to the type certificate I used for some of the raw data. | The Optica is a light civilian observation [[Aircraft|aircraft]] meant to be a relatively low-cost alternative to helicopters. 25 examples of this unique and innovative aircraft were built in the late 70's through mid 80's: 2 prototypes + 23 production aircraft.
