| Structure |
|
|
 |
Professional,
state of the art computation and modelling tools were
intensively used to optimize the industrialisation process.
Initial aerodynamic characteristics were identified
through wind tunnel testing of a 1:10 scale model. |
|
|
 |
The
structure was designed and computed by the Aerostructure
Department of Turin Polytechnic University. Extensive
use was made of Finite Element Modelling (FEM) and NASTRAN
techniques.
The structure was designed to comply with FAR 23 (CS23
in Europe) requirements for the aerobatic category.
Actual aircraft manoeuvring limitations highly depend
on choice of engine type. |
| Safety |
|
|
 |
The aircraft
has been designed with
“SAFETY FIRST” concept.
A high strength, composite material, 4-spar cockpit
structure provides a very resistant protective box around
both pilots.
Internal FIRE EXTINGUISHER for engine compartment is
a standard feature. |
|
|
 |
Standard
internal BALLISTIC CHUTE provides extra safety for the
occupants in case of an emergency situation.
Fuel tanks utilize Formula 1 foam technology which provides
good anti blast protection.
Both tanks are located in the wings, away from the cockpit.
Optimum design layout requires no individual fuel selector
thus providing an inherent and
effective protection against engine fuel starvation
due to student mishandling.
