The Aviadesign A-16 Sport Falcon is an American light-sport aircraft that was designed by Aviadesign, a certified aircraft modification company based in Camarillo, California. The A-16 was announced at Sun 'n Fun April 2006 and introduced at the LSA Expo held in Sebring, Florida in 2007. The aircraft was to be supplied as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft.〔Bayerl, Robby; Martin Berkemeier; et al: ''World Directory of Leisure Aviation 2011-12'', page 30. WDLA UK, Lancaster UK, 2011. ISSN 1368-485X〕 Jane's Information Group reports that two prototypes were completed by 2006, but it is not clear if any other examples ever flew before the company went out of business.〔 ==Design and development== The aircraft was designed to comply with the US light-sport aircraft rules. It features a strut-braced high-wing, a two-seats-in-tandem enclosed cockpit under a bubble canopy, fixed tricycle landing gear and a single engine in pusher configuration.〔 The aircraft is made with a welded steel tubing airframe. Its span wing employs a single strut per side. The standard engine for production examples was intended to be the Rotax 912ULS four-stroke powerplant. Entry to the cockpit is via an airstair door.〔 The design is listed on the Federal Aviation Administration's list of accepted SLSAs, but as no longer in production. 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「Aviadesign A-16 Sport Falcon」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
