The Eagle Aircraft 150B is an Australian designed two-seat single-engine composite material training, touring and sport aircraft. It utilizes a three lifting surface design consisting of a forward wing (foreplane), main wing (mainplane) and horizontal stabilizer (tailplane). The aircraft was designed and originally built by Eagle Aircraft Pty Ltd, but is now manufactured in Malaysia by (Composites Technology Research Malaysia ). ==Design and development== The Eagle 150B is a development of the Eagle X-TS from Western Australian inventors Neil Graham and his father Deryck Graham. Australian aeronautical engineer Graham Swannell and American aerodynamicist John Roncz were then engaged to design an aircraft to meet then-current JAR VLA requirements and demonstrate minimal stall characteristics. The first aircraft (designated Eagle 150A) was first flown in March 1988 and certified in November 1996. The aircraft demonstrated very docile stall characteristics, rapid roll rates, 125 knot cruise speeds ( at 75% power) and crisp handling. After 15 aircraft were built at Fremantle, Western Australia the Eagle 150B was introduced. John Roncz was presented with the Prince's Australian Medal for the design of the Eagle 150 by His Royal Highness Prince Philip at a ceremony in London in 2000. The manufacturing rights are now owned by the Malaysian company Composites Technology Research Malaysia. A development of the aircraft as a UAV has been designated the Eagle ARV System. The first system of three aircraft and a ground station has been purchased by the Malaysian government. thumb 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「Eagle Aircraft Eagle 150」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
