Lancair IV/ IVP AIRCRAFT SYSTEMS
The Lancair IV is a high performance, four-seat, amateur built aircraft, and it is
normally powered by the Teledyne/Continental TSIO-550 or the IO-550. The
selected engine will drive either a two, three, or four blade constant speed
propeller. Common propellers used on the airplane are the Hartzell HC-H3YF-
1RF and the MTV-9. The aircraft features a composite airframe of predominately
carbon fiber in an epoxy resin matrix. The wings have hydraulically actuated full
slotted fowler flaps and mechanically actuated high aspect ratio ailerons. Speed
brakes may be installed at approximately mid-span of the top of the wings. The
elevator and rudder have centerline bearings. The elevator is push rod actuated;
a stainless steel cable actuates the rudder. The tricycle retractable landing gear
is hydraulically actuated. The nose gear is a self centering free swiveling unit
and has an oleo strut for dampening. The main gear struts are made of tubular
steel. The main wheel brakes have their own independent system and are
hydraulically actuated.
