ISBN 0-9636409-4-1〕 ==Design and development== The aircraft is a development of the Talon XP which in turn traces its linage to the Maxair Drifter. The Explorer has been produced by a number of companies and under a variety of names.〔 The main advance over the Drifter is the Explorer's use of main wing struts and jury struts in place of cable bracing. Like all aircraft in this family they feature excellent visibility, especially from the front seat when the optional fibreglass cockpit pod is removed. As a result the design is often employed as a camera platform. It can be flown on floats and has been used for banner towing.〔 Construction is of bolted aluminium tube, with the flying surfaces covered in pre-sewn Dacron envelopes. The kit takes about 150–250 hours to assemble.〔〔 The standard engine is the Rotax 582 of , with the four-stroke Rotax 912 optional.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Advanced Aviation Explorer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
