7. Aircraft and systems description
This section provides description and operation of the aeroplane and its system.
The STOL CH 701 aircraft design conforms to TP 10141 Design Standards for advanced
Ultra-light Aeroplanes (AULA) (Canada) and BCAR Section S (UK).
Construction:
All-metal construction, stressed skin, single curvature metal skins riveted to stiffeners.
Airframe:
Construction is of 6061-T6 aluminium sheet metal riveted to aluminium angles with
Avex rivets. This high strength aluminium alloy construction provides long life and low
maintenance costs thanks to its durability and corrosion resistance characteristics.
Wings:
The wing has a high lift airfoil with full-span fixed leading edge slats (bolted to the wing’s
leading edge) “Junker” type (separate airfoil) full-span trailing edge flaperons (combination
flaps & ailerons) and Hoerner wing tips
to maximize the STOL CH 701’s effective
wingspan.
Flight Contro/s:
The STOL CH 701 is equipped with a dual flight control stick between the pilot and
passenger which branches in the form of a convenient Y handle. The classic rudder pedals,
connected to a large-diameter steerable nose wheel for easy of ground handling, are
equipped with toe-brake hydraulic pedals on the pilot side (on both sides on option) for
effective ground steering. The vertical tail is all moving to provide maximum crosswind
capabilities. The trim-control on the elevator is electrically operated from the switch on
control stck)
The Flap control operates the full span flaperons, it it located on the floor, pilot’s side. To
extend flaps, lift handle and move forward to the provided notch. Maximum permissible
flaps extended speed is 55 kt.
Instrument panel:
Instrument panel is situated in front of pilot and includes instruments for control of the
flight and engine. The aeroplane is fitted al least with those instruments:
Control of flight
an airspeed indicator
an altimeter
a magnetic direction indicator
slip indicator (ball)
control of engine
rpm indicator
a fuel quantity indicator
