The unorthodox Boomerang was an experimental light
transport featuring twin booms, the starboard boom containing the cabin,
with an engine at the front of each boom. The undercarriage was a
retractable tricycle type with the nosewheel at the front of the cabin
boom. The port boom has room for luggage and the tailplane is mounted
between the booms with an extension outboard of the starboard boom. The
philosophy behind this design was to minimize production costs. The
Boomerang was due to enter production with Morrow Aircraft in an
enlarged form seating six and powered by 2x 325hp (242kW) Continentals
and with a maximum take-off weight of approximately 6250lb(2835kg).
