The Burnelli CBY-3 Loadmaster is an unconventional transport aircraft that was designed by American engineer Vincent Burnelli and built in Canada in 1944 by Canadian Car and Foundry.

The Museum's CBY-3, built by the Canadian Car and Foundry, was the last of Vincent Burnelli's "lifting fuselage" aircraft. Two Wright engines were mounted side-by-side on the forward edge of the fuselage and instead of a conventional tail the CBY-3 had twin tail mounted booms that extended rearward from the main fuselage.

The Burnelli CBY-3 Loadmaster is an unconventional transport aircraft that was designed by American engineer Vincent Burnelli and built in Canada in 1944 by Canadian Car and Foundry. The CBY-3 "lifting fuselage" was an evolution of the earlier Burnelli UB-14.

In July of 1957 the Burnelli CBY-3 was being demonstrated to the U.S. Army at Fort Belvoir, Virginia. Both engines quit on the second high performance takeof and the aircraft belly landed back on the runway.

The CBY-3 was not the only missed opportunity by the Canadian Car and Foundry after they took on Burnelli's designs and produced this last rendition of his work. They actually built a full scale, 3 engine transport mockup, called the CB-34 in 1937,which was also a promising design but the Canadian Minister of Transport thought it too big.

2015年1月23日 · The New England Air Museum has made extraordinary progress over the past two years on the restoration of their unique Burnelli CBY-3 Loadmaster cargo plane. The sole surviving example of this unusual, blended-fuselage design has languished outside for much of the past five decades, but in 2013, NEAM decided to bring the aircraft under cover for ...

Kind.” The CBY-3 was a collaboration with Canadian Car and Foundry (CCF) to develop a bush aircraft for both South and North American markets. Successfully demonstrated in 1945, although slightly underpowered with Wright 1830 engines, its marketing was later undertaken by CCF subsidiary Cancargo, or CanCar, designated as the CAM-1 Loadmaster.

The Burnelli CBY-3 Loadmaster was an unusual and capable prototype transport aircraft. It was based on a earlier design, the Burnelli UB-14. Both aircraft were designed by the American aircraft engineer Vincent Burnelli, a keen proponent of the 'lifting body' aircraft design principle.
