USELAGE
The P2008 JC fuselage is mainly made by carbon fibres composite materials.
The fuselage is made by two main shells that are later assembled bonding the two
main bodies and the floor (composite) and adding aluminium stiffeners that allow
the connection of the main landing gear, seats, wing and instrument panel.
In this context the fuselage and vertical fin are a unique body.

uniform plane called stabilator that rotates to the desired pitch setting.
The stabilator structure is made-up by an aluminium spar (1) and ribs (2).
