Aircraft and systems on board
Taurus is a 15-meter-wingspan, side by side
T-tail motorglider made almost entirely of
composite materials. The wing is mid-mounted
cantilever type, propulsion system is fully re-
tractable to enhance gliding performance
The undercarriage is a taildragger type with
two main, brake equipped wheels, which are
fully retractable. Tail wheel steerable through
rudder input.
Taurus features flaperons, which are intercon-
nected flaps and ailerons presented in the
same deflecting surface. Flaps offer 5 settings:
- 5
°
, neutral, 1
st
+5,
°
T9
°
, L18
°
.
What is more, individual main flight control
levers make Taurus ideal for initial as well as for
advanced flight training. All aileron, elevator
and flap controls are connected to the cabin
controls using self-fitting push-pull tubes.
Rudder is controlled via cables. The elevator
trim is mechanical, spring type housed inter-
nally in the fuselage to prevent drag.
All aircraft ship with H type safety belts at-
tached to the fuselage at three mounting
points. Rudder pedals can be adjusted to suit
your size and needs.
The batteries are in the fuselage, placed in
four metal boxes with dedicated connectors.
Charging must be carried out only with origi-
nal Pipistrel dedicated chargers.
The motor/controller system Electro 40/30 is
standard and the aircraft features the Master
On-board Computer (MOC) that provides
throttle-by-wire capability.
The canopy is either transparent or blue-tinted
plexy-glass.
Main wheel brakes are hydraulically driven disc
type. The hydraulic brake fluid used is DOT 4.
Cabin ventilation is achieved through special
ducts fitted onto the canopy frame and may
be adjusted for crew’s comfort.
To enhance aerodynamics for gliding, Taurus
fully retracts the propulsion unit. This proce-
dure is fully automated by the flip of a switch
on the instrument panel.
Electric circuit enables the pilot to test indi-
vidual circuit items. Navigational (NAV), and
anti collision (strobe) lights are an option. The
motor/propeller compartment is fully enclosed
and separated from the cockpit.
Basic instruments come installed with opera-
tional limits pre-designated. EYS-MAN is stan-
dard equipment.
A ballistic parachute rescue system can be
installed as an option (in some countries e.g.
Germany the ballistic rescue system must be
installed).
