Chapter 3 Technical Specifications

This document provides specifications for an aircraft airframe, engine, performance, instruments, and avionics. The aircraft has a 10.5 meter wingspan, 6.5 meter length, and is powered by a 80 HP Rotax 912 A 4-cylinder engine. Key airspeeds include a stall speed of 43 knots clean or 35 knots with flaps, and a maximum speed of 135 knots. The aircraft has a maximum takeoff weight of 472.5 kg and can carry up to 197.5 kg of payload. Instrumentation includes altimeters, airspeed indicators, slip indicators, and engine monitors. The primary avionics are a Garmin Aera 500 GPS and X-COM VHF radio

The Aspect Ratio of a wing is the


ratio of its span to its mean
chord. It is equal to the square of
the wingspan divided by the
wing area.

Aspect ratio = wing span

(f) Torque - 103 Nm (75.9 foot pounds) at
4800 RPM
ENGINE TORQUE :- Torque is defined as a force which
produces a rotating force on an object (or tends to do so).
Engine torque will rotate the propeller and the propeller,
while creating thrust (propeller lift) will resists that engine
torque with propeller torque (propeller drag). 5

The compression ratio is defined as the ratio


between the volume of the cylinder with the
piston in the bottom position, Vbottom (largest
volume), and in the top position, Vtop (smallest
volume). The higher this ratio, the greater will be the
power output from a given engine. It is generally in
the 6–10 range.

The alternator works by turning
mechanical energy into electrical
energy. When your engine is on, it
powers a drive belt that rests on a
pulley attached to the alternator. The
pulley turns the alternator's rotor
shaft, which spins a set of magnets
around a coil.
