The AGO Flugzeugwerke Oschersleben, the aircraft construction subsidiary of the Apparatebau GmbH Oschersleben, is the heir to the Gustav Otto Flugmaschinenwerke firm that had been founded in 1911. It has long functioned as a member of the Focke Wulf Fw340 production group. The firm has maintained a design office since 1935 under the leadership of engineer Paul Klages. The Ao225 design, in effect a modernised version of the Ao192 Kurier of 1936, is intended for the growing civil aviation market.

Huh, it's kinda cute.

The way the drawing turned out it has a bit of a Cessna flair about it. Not likely to be a big money spinner for the company, but they're making enough on the Fw340 subcontracts to fund a civil project.

That's a good looking aircraft, reminds me of the earlier AGOs but also has a bit of the later Beagle types of the 1960s. A nice little run around.
