In August 1969, the first Romanian-assembled Islander performed its first flight. IRMA proved successful at economically producing the aircraft, producing roughly 30-40 aircraft per year at times, and eventually became the primary manufacturing site for the Islander. In 1977, IRMA received a contract for the production of a further 100 Islanders; from that point on, the firm produced all subsequent Islander aircraft. More than 500 of the type were manufactured in Romania. 907: 264: 363: 1412: 1857: 3115: 2997: 2126: 3123: 1214: 3131: 964: 2972: 2615: 2304: 2185: 584:, can accommodate a single pilot and up to nine passengers in a commuter configuration, or operate in a mixed cargo/passenger capacity. The cabin can be rapidly reconfigured, allowing for a single aircraft to undertake a diverse range of tasks within a minimal period of time. Often referring to the type as "The world's most versatile aircraft", Britten-Norman promotes the Islander's low direct operating costs, minimal maintenance, and its stability in flight as major attributes of the aircraft. 2055: 2906: 2326: 1302: 2214: 1126: 1104: 1048: 3367: 2884: 2950: 2583: 2077: 2852: 1808: 3143: 2365: 1967: 2817: 2556: 2534: 2773: 2512: 1945: 1632: 1544: 1324: 2795: 2703: 2099: 1654: 1456: 1060: 2148: 2011: 1989: 1764: 1192: 1170: 2928: 2747: 2680: 2653: 2490: 2237: 1923: 1879: 1698: 1522: 1478: 1280: 2468: 2259: 2033: 1901: 1786: 1676: 1566: 1500: 1368: 1258: 1236: 1148: 1082: 1720: 1610: 1390: 1346: 1835: 2436: 2725: 2387: 1742: 1588: 2409: 2282: 3381: 1434: 425:. The ducted fan produced less noise than conventional propeller propulsion. Some structural strengthening of the main wing spar at the root was required due to the extra weight. This aircraft was subject to 18 months of flying trials to test the suitability of the ducted fan as a means of reducing aircraft noise; these tests reportedly demonstrated a 20 684:
