This gyroplane is designed as an open cockpit aircraft and features no doors. Two windshields from
break-proof polycarbonate protect the crew against the air stream, insects, and direct rain. Access and
exit is provided over the sillboard on the right hand side.
Note that windshields are described in 56-15-00 Windows .

Pneumatic compressor, dryer cartridge, fuses and cabling is installed behind the cover of the centre

CHAPTER 53
– FUSELAGE / MAIN FRAME
The load carrying structure of the gyroplane consists of an inert-gas welded stainless steel square
tube framework and includes mast, forward extension, and aft extension. The main frame carries all
loads induced by the crew stations, engine, rotor, undercarriage, stabilizer, and serves as installation
platform for additional equipment. Attachment points for the engine installation are provided by a steel
tube ring mount at the rear of the mast, which also supports the rotor at its top end.
The fuselage enclosure including its two crew stations is made of glass fibre reinforced plastic. It is
mounted to the forward extension of the main frame and is not designed as a load carrying structure.
