1.2. DESCRIPTION
The Virus SW 600 D is a two-seat aircraft of composite construction. The
aircraft is arranged as a high wing mono-plane with cantilevered wings, con-
ventional T-tail empennage and tricycle landing gear. It is equipped with a
73,5 kW Rotax 912 iS Series engine.
The cabin incorporates side-by-side seating and two large gull-wing doors.
The flight control system, which consists of various levers, pedals, bellcranks
and pushrods, is designed in a way to ensure full flight control from either
side of the cabin. A centrally-located qudrant incorporates two levers for
throttle and propeller pitch control. The baggage area is behind the seats
and accessible via a dedicated door on the left-hand side of the fuselage.
The VIRUS SW 600 D is equipped with a ballistic parachute system.
The load-bearing structure of the airplane is made of carbon, glass and ara-
mid fiber composite material, the components of which, epoxy resin as well
as fiber materials, are in compliance with worldwide accepted aviation spec-
ifications. The proven low-pressure wet lay-up method from the sailplane
industry is used to build the airplane structure.
The airplane is not approved for intentional spins and aerobatics.
