What is the airframe composed of?
- Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP)
- Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic (GFRP)
- Carbon Fiber increases strength and Rigidity with decreased weight
What type of fuselage?
Semi-monocoque
What are the wings made of?
- Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP)
- Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic (GFRP)
-Spars composed on GFRP
What does the wing have on the inboard leading edge?
- vortex generators
1|Page
,What type of empennage and what is it made out of?
- T-tail design
- Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP)
- Glass Fiber Reinforced Plastic (GFRP)
Why do we have lightning protection? What does it consist of?
- because the composite design
- conductor has both lateral and longitudinal systems. uses aluminum tubes and strips that
connect metal parts of the airplane (engine, fuel tanks, etc.) lightning will conduct to the rear
lightning electrode under the elevator
what kind of aileron design? Limits?
- differential design
- up: 25 degrees +/- 2
- down 15 degrees +2 -0
Why do we have differential design ailerons?
- aileron that is deflected upward creates more drag to counter adverse yaw
2|Page
, Which aileron has a trim tab?
- left
What is a mass balance/paddle?
- both ailerons have it to add drag to counter act adverse yaw as well as decrease flutter
- protrudes below the wing
How is the aileron connected to the stick?
- push-pull rods
How is the elevator operated? what are the limits?
- steel push-pull rods
- up: 15.5 degrees +/- 0.5
-down: 13 degrees +/- 1
What is the variable elevator stop?
- When the power setting of the engines exceeds 20% (approach setting) the elevator stop will
activate and limit the elevator-up motion from 15 degrees to 13.5 degrees
