The Lancair Tigress was an American homebuilt aircraft that was designed by Lance Neibauer and intended for production by Lancair of Redmond, Oregon, introduced in mid-late 1990s. The aircraft was planned to be supplied as a kit for amateur construction, but only prototypes were produced.〔Purdy, Don: ''AeroCrafter - Homebuilt Aircraft Sourcebook, Fifth Edition'', page 190. BAI Communications, 15 July 1998. ISBN 0-9636409-4-1〕 The concept of a higher-powered Lancair IV derivative was finally filled by the Lancair Propjet. ==Design and development== The Tigress was intended to be a development of the Lancair IV adapted to employ the Orenda OE600 V-8 engine, giving it a cruise speed of . To accept the higher power and the increased speeds the airframe was structurally strengthened. The engine was later cancelled by its manufacturer, Orenda Aerospace, and the Tigress kit was not produced as a result.〔 The aircraft featured a cantilever low-wing, a four seat pressurized cabin, retractable tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.〔 The Tigress was made from composites, including graphite fiber. Its span was shorter than that used on the Lancair IV, mounted flaps and had a wing area of . The Tigress's wing used a McWilliams RXM5-217 airfoil at the wing root, transitioning to a NACA 64-212 at the wing tip, the same as employed on the Lancair IV.〔 The aircraft had a typical empty weight of and a gross weight of , giving a useful load of . With full fuel of the payload for pilot, passengers and baggage was .〔 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「Lancair Tigress」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
