The aircraft is a single place, single engine gull-wing design with retractable conventional landing gear. The F4U was the second completed aircraft in the W.A.R. series, with the first example displayed at the EAA airshow in 1975. The aircraft featured folding wings. [3]
A folding wing is a wing configuration design feature of aircraft to save space and is typical of carrier-based aircraft that operate from the limited deck space of aircraft carriers. The folding allows the aircraft to occupy less space in a confined hangar because the folded wing normally rises over the fuselage decreasing the floor area of ...
Stits planned to deliver 100 kits to the German market for homebuilding. [2] Examples have been completed in the United States and in Europe. The SA-5 is a mid-wing, tricycle landing gear design with folding wings. The aircraft was intended to be towed by a vehicle by the (lowered) tail on its main gear with wings folded along its sides.
The aircraft replaces the Spyder's two-stroke engine with a Yuneec Power Drive 20 20 kW (27 hp) electric motor and two 28 lb (13 kg) Lithium polymer battery packs which provide a 40-minute endurance. The aircraft is intended to be developed into a commercially available kit and forecast to be available for under US$25,000.
The aircraft is amateur-built and not type-certified. Over 4500 kits have been delivered in 42 countries. [1] A derivative of the Avid Flyer, [3] the Kitfox was an early kit plane to feature quickly-folding wings that greatly simplify carriage and storage. [4] The appeal of the aircraft was that it could be built in a two-car garage.
The wing is equipped with flaps that give it a stall speed of 25 mph (40 km/h). The small wing gives the aircraft a high cruise speed and better resistance to turbulence than a lighter-loaded wing. The one-piece wing is quickly removable for storage or transport. [1] [3] Reported construction time of the kit is 150 hours. [1]
The F11 features a cantilever low-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit that is 40 in (102 cm) wide, fixed conventional landing gear, or optionally tricycle landing gear, and a single engine in tractor configuration. [1] The aircraft is made from wood, with its flying surfaces covered in doped aircraft fabric.
To facilitate this goal the aircraft had folding wings and a horizontal stabilizer of less than 8 foot (2.4 m) width. It was designed to be fully aerobatic as well and was stressed for 9g (90 m/s²). [3] [5] Many parts of the BD-1 were interchangeable to simplify production. For example, the wings were interchangeable as were the fin and ...
