    The wings are identical to the Bearhawk 4-Place Model B, employing the same Riblett 30-413.5 airfoil [5] and mounting flaps. [4] The aircraft's recommended engine power range is 250 to 315 hp (186 to 235 kW) and standard engines used include the 250 hp (186 kW) Lycoming O-540 , although the recommended engine is the 315 hp (235 kW) Lycoming IO ...

  3. Barrows Bearhawk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrows_Bearhawk

    The Bearhawk was designed in the early 1990s [5] as a personal project by Barrows to carry aircraft engines for delivery as freight. It features a strut-braced high-wing, a four-seat enclosed cabin that is 42.5 in (108 cm) wide and accessed by doors, fixed conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.

  4. Lofting coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lofting_coordinates

    Two points on a fuselage at waterline 100/fuselage station 93 and waterline 101/fuselage station 276. Lofting coordinates are used for aircraft body measurements. The system derives from the one that was used in the shipbuilding lofting process, with longitudinal axis labeled as "stations" (usually fuselage stations, frame stations, FS), transverse axis as "buttocks lines" (or butt lines, BL ...

    Typical examples can be seen on the Piaggio P.180 Avanti, Learjet 60 and Beechcraft 1900D. The Grumman X-29 research aircraft had rear fuselage lateral fins or "Tail fins", [3] sometimes called strakes, [4] continuous with the trailing edge of the main wing. This allowed the positioning of a rear control surface at the end of each fin.

    A section of the rear fuselage from a Vickers Warwick showing the geodetic construction in duralumin. On exhibit at the Armstrong & Aviation Museum at Bamburgh Castle.. A geodetic airframe is a type of construction for the airframes of aircraft developed by British aeronautical engineer Barnes Wallis in the 1930s (who sometimes spelt it "geodesic").

  8. Area rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Area_rule

    This allowed the fuselage to be narrowed in front of the root as well as behind it, leading to a smoother fuselage that remained wider on average than one using a classic swept wing. The extension behind the flight deck on the Rockwell B-1 Lancer and Boeing 747 was added to improve the cross-sectional area distribution according to the area ...

  9. Barrows Bearhawk Patrol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barrows_Bearhawk_Patrol

    The Bearhawk Patrol is designed to improve on the Piper Super Cub. It is a single engine, strut-braced, high-wing, tandem seat aircraft with conventional landing gear or floats. The fuselage is constructed with welded steel tubing with aircraft fabric covering. The wing spars and ribs are aluminum with aluminum covering. The flaps deploy up to ...
