Nevertheless, despite the fact that in 1967, the Zlin Z 42 aircraft model has made its first flight in mass production, the aircraft was launched only 1970 year, which was mainly due to the need to optimize aircraft performance parameters plane.

The design of the aircraft model Zlin Z 42 has a very compact design that provides the aircraft a high level of maneuverability and allows you to use it as a sports aircraft, although in reality, the plane is also positioned and how a training facility and the air like a private jet.

Moreover, some modifications of the aircraft and is also suitable for transport on board small in its volume and weight of the cargo, but in this case, the weight of the transported load depends mainly on their own weight the pilot and passengers.

The power plant of the aircraft consists of one Avia M 137A piston aircraft engine, six working cylinders of which are capable of developing a thrust of 180 hp. The aircraft engine itself is quite simple in terms of its maintenance, but it also has high reliability. The maximum speed of the Zlin Z 42 aircraft is 315 km / h, and the maximum distance that the aircraft can fly cannot exceed 1200 kilometers, which is quite satisfactory considering the type of aircraft.
