What plane has the most built?
Care to be more specific? Combat non combat? Fighter bomber?
I think the most prolific fighter is the Yak series, 36,000 or so, the Il-2 is probably one of the most prolific bombers, and I think the most produced aircraft of the war is the Polikarpov U-2.

Nope, I think for that time period the oragami sheep beat out the paper airplane due to all those lonely Japanese soldiers stuck on remote Pacific islands.

nm... it's not a plane... sry.

109

More IL-2s were built, 36,163 in total. 109s didn't quite reach 35,000.

If we consider civilian aircraft, the Cessna 172 leads with 43,207 manufactured (as of 2007). Then comes the Polikarpov Po-2, with something in excess of 40,000. Then, we have the IL-2.

My regards,

WW or I didn't cheat, I doubt other's did as well. Because they would have responded with the IL-2.

More trivia

The Hellcat had the most Wing Area of any major single engined fighter in WWII.

I knew the number, I read something once, I remember it. It's called a "photographic memory". After 7 years on this BBS, I'm pretty sure WW, Corky, Greebo and a few others are plagued by this phenomenon.

That's a surprise, I would have guessed the Spitfire.

I belive the number was larger than that when talking about accidents on takeoff and landing. Can't remember where I heard that and I could be wrong.

From everything that i've read and heard, the 109 was a tricky plane to fly.

Post by: R 105 on July 03, 2009, 08:28:13 AM: I did know that 35000 ME-109s were produced off the top of my head. I been reading about WWII German air craft since the early 1960s. The 109 has got to be near the top of the list for most produced true fighter planes of WWII plus Spain built and flew A 109 variation until the mid 60s.
