The Dominion Skytrader was a prototype STOL utility aircraft built in the United States in the early 1970s. Attempts to market the aircraft continued until the late 1980s but proved fruitless. The Skytrader was a conventional high-wing strut-braced monoplane with fixed tricycle undercarriage. The design was optimised for easy freight handling and featured a fuselage of rectangular cross-section with large loading doors to the side and a loading ramp at the rear.
