The Hollsmidt 222 or HT-1 was a Danish light utility amateur aircraft built in one unit. The plane was designed by engineer Harald Thyregod in 1958 and built by a farmer Arne Hollænder and Aksel Smidt at Hollænder's farm in Aarre. Therefore it is known as HT-1 for Harald Thyregod or Hollsmidt for two builders. The idea was to create a light cheap aircraft fit to homebuilding with two engines giving more safety. The engines themselves were converted Volkswagen car engines.
