You can see... |
|
... just be looking at the Solair II... |
|
... that it is a 100 % composite plane. |
|
The cockpit is built around the pilot ... |
|
... and the large hood offers an optimum view. |
|
The seat base is made of aramide fibre composite. It
has a form fit to a bulkhead which further reinforces the
fuselage. |
|
The seat base is removable for maintenance which
allows easy access to all fuse installations. |
|
The main gear strut almost completely encloses the
wheels... |
|
... and is mounted below the fuselage as a single
assembly. |
|
The wing just before joining the top and bottom
halves. Additional ribs increase the rigidity of the
honeycomb sandwich. |
|
Botton half of a winglet... the spar stub fit into
the outer as well as the inner wing. |
|
Additional control surfaces at the winglets increase
the yaw moment. |
|
The winglet rudders operate to one side only and fit
snugly into the winglet bottom when not deflected. |
