Could the Norden Be Your Next Airplane?

Sep 19, 2026 | Ownership, Performance

The Zlin Norden was designed for pilots who want genuine short-field capability without giving up the speed needed to travel.

Published performance figures include:

🛫 Takeoff distance: 60 feet with a single pilot and under 224 feet at maximum takeoff weight
🛬 Landing distance: 70 feet with a single pilot and under 256 feet at maximum takeoff weight
⚡ Cruise speed: 126 mph true at 5,000 feet density altitude

Maybe you’re interested in its STOL performance. Maybe you want an airplane that can also cover cross-country miles efficiently. Or perhaps you’re comparing factory-built aircraft with E-AB kit options.

Whatever has you curious about the Norden, we’d be happy to help you explore it.
