The De Havilland Canada DHC-5 Buffalo is a modern Canadian multi-role transport plane. The plane was built in the high-wing configuration, with a landing gear that retracts in flight - triple support. The machine was first flew in 1964. Serial production was carried out in the years 1965-1972 and 1974-1986. It led to the creation of about 120 copies of this aircraft. The propulsion - in the DHC-5D version - is provided by two General Electric CT64-820-4 turboprop engines with 3,130 hp each . The machine has no permanent on-board armament.

The De Havilland Canada DHC-5 Buffalo was commissioned by the US armed forces, which in 1962 launched a competition for a new transport plane with the STOL capabilities, i.e. shortened take-off and landing. The competition was won by de Havilland Canada, which offered a highly modernized version of its earlier DHC-4 aircraft. The differences were mainly in the use of new engines, the correction of the cargo space architecture or other small, but relatively numerous, changes. The DHC-5 Buffalo entered service in the US under the designation C-8A, while in Canada it is used under the designation C-115. Both versions are supposed to be almost identical to each other, they also use engines of the same manufacturer (General Electric), but their different models. The DHC-5 Buffalo plane turned out to be a very successful machine and was or is used by countries such as Brazil, Cameroon, Chile and Ecuador
