AIRFRAME
Fuselage
The GFRP fuselage is of semi monocoque molded construction. The fire protection on
the firewall is of a special fire-resistant matting, which is covered on the engine side by
stainless steel cladding. The two main bulkheads are GFRP/CFRP items.
Wings
The wings have a front and rear spar; each wing has a top shell and a bottom shell - a
'fail-safe' concept. The wings, as well as the ailerons and flaps, are made of GFRP/CFRP,
and are principally of sandwich construction. An aluminum fuel tank is installed in each
of the wings.
Empennage
The airplane has a 'T' tail of GFRP semi monocoque construction. Both the stabilizers
have twin spars and a skin with no sandwich. Rudder and elevator are of sandwich
construction.
