We started the fabrication of a new prototype,the low wing high performance aircraft
F109. It's a classic all metal 2 place,with some distinct characteristics:
- compound wing planform, having a very efficient laminar airfoil.
- the main wing spar placed behind pilots seats,for good view when landing or
take-off - sailplane-style wings joining inside fuselage,for 5min. assembly time - slotted flaps
- differential ailerons,mixed with the flaps at take-off and landing - one-piece stabilator,with antiflettner
and electric trimmer - fuel tank in fuselage behind the pilots, for quick and easy refill - adjustable rudder
pedals - wide cabin for large people - 1.30m
As EASA is preparing the
ELA regulation ,inspired from the American LSA, we will produce two versions : European ultralight ULM (450 kg.MTOW) and
European Light Aircraft ELA (600 kg.MTOW)
