The Coavio DF 2000 is a single engine, high wing all metal ultralight aircraft with side-by side seating for two. Built in Italy, production began in 2004.〔Bayerl, Robby; Martin Berkemeier; et al: ''World Directory of Leisure Aviation 2011-12'', page 35. WDLA UK, Lancaster UK, 2011. ISSN 1368-485X〕 ==Design and development== The DF 2000 was designed to provide a fast, robust, comfortable, low cost side-by-side two seat ultralight with a short take-off run. It has a conventional layout not unlike that of, for example, the Cessna 152, with a high wing, swept vertical tail and tricycle undercarriage.〔〔 Structurally, it is mostly built from aluminium alloy, reinforced with steel tubing in the cockpit area. The wing has constant chord and is braced on each side by a single, broad streamlined strut from the bottom of the fuselage. The shallow, turned up wing tips are formed from composites. Inboard flaps are fitted. The cockpit area, under the wings and fitted with dual controls, is accessed by upward hinged doors with deep glazing. Aft, the fuselage becomes more slender, though the swept fin has a long fillet. The rudder has a trim tab and the low set, parallel chord tailplane carries a balanced elevator. The tricycle undercarriage has main wheels which are cantilever spring mounted from the lower fuselage and a steerable nose wheel. All wheels are usually spatted.〔〔 The DF 2000 family uses several engine/propeller combinations, mostly from the Rotax 912 series of flat-4s but also from Jabiru flat-4s.〔 These cover the 80-100 hp (50-75 kW) power range.〔〔 The DF 2000 first flew in about 2001 and went into production three years later. .〔 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「Coavio DF 2000」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
