The Capella XS is a family of American high wing, tractor configuration, cabin aircraft that were produced in kit form by Capella Aircraft of Austin, Texas and intended for amateur construction.〔Downey, Julia: ''1999 Kit Aircraft Directory'', Kitplanes, Volume 15, Number 12, December 1998, page 40. Primedia Publications. ISSN 0891-1851〕〔Purdy, Don: ''AeroCrafter - Homebuilt Aircraft Sourcebook'', page 136-7. BAI Communications. ISBN 0-9636409-4-1〕 Capella Aircraft went out of business in late 2007, and the series is no longer in production. ==Design and development== The single seat ''SS'' model was introduced in 1988. All members of the design family were available as optionally conventional landing gear or tricycle gear-equipped aircraft.〔〔 The family of aircraft all share common design features, including an enclosed cabin-style fuselage, horizontal stabilizer and tail fin all constructed of welded 4130 steel tubing. The wing is framed from riveted aluminium tubing with all surfaces covered in doped aircraft fabric. The wing includes flaps and has an optional folding system for transport and storage.〔〔 The landing gear arrangement includes sprung-steel main gear and a similarly sprung steerable tail wheel or optional sprung-steel nose wheel.〔〔 The single-seat SS model was developed into a line of side-by-side two seaters with different engine and fuselage designs.〔〔 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「Capella XS」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
