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 ...
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.

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 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").
The wing root is the part of the wing on a fixed-wing aircraft or winged-spaceship that is closest to the fuselage, [1] and is the junction of the wing with the fuselage (not with a nacelle or any other body). The term is also used for the junction of the wing with the opposite wing, ie on the fuselage centerline, as with the upper wing of a ...
