__NOTOC__ The MSW Votec 322 is a Swiss two-seat low-wing monoplane based on the Rihn DR-107 One Design and designed for amateur construction by MSW Aviation of Wohlen.〔 ==Design and development== The MSW 322 was designed by Max Vogelsang and derived from the Rihn DR-107 One Design which MSW Aviation had bought. The first prototype, registered ''HB-YJY'' first flew on 6 April 2001. The Votec 322 is a low-wing cantilever monoplane with a steel-tube fuselage, wooden wings with a carbon fibre fuselage skin, and a conventional landing gear with a steerable tailwheel. The aircraft is powered by a Lycoming AEIO-540 flat-six piston engine driving a three-bladed tractor propeller. Later a four-bladed propeller was installed to reduce noise. The cockpit has room for two in tandem with a one-piece side-hinged canopy.〔〔Bayerl, Robby; Martin Berkemeier; et al: ''World Directory of Leisure Aviation 2011-12'', page 112. WDLA UK, Lancaster UK, 2011. ISSN 1368-485X〕 In 2006 the eighth Votec 322 was converted into the first and, as of October 2011, the only Votec 351, a single seater. This flew for the first time on 23 September 2006. It has the same external dimensions as the Votec 322 but is lighter when empty and has the more powerful Lycoming AEIO-580 flat six engine. One consequence is an improvement in the rate of climb of about 0.3%.〔 The Votec 452T, another Votec 322 variant, first flew on 4 June 2010. It is similar to its predecessor in span and weight but has a Rolls-Royce M250-B17D turboprop engine and is longer. The prototype remains the only example in October 2011.〔 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「MSW Votec 322」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
