ISSN 0891-1851〕 ==Design and development== The original single seat S-4 Coyote was designed by Rans owner Randy Schlitter in 1982, as a result of his dissatisfaction with existing ultralight designs at the time. Construction of the first Coyote prototype was started in November 1982, with the first flight following in March 1983. The Coyote II two-seater was developed from the S-5 Coyote, itself a development of the S-4 Coyote. The initial two seat model, the S-6, was replaced by the improved S-6ES ("extended span") model in April 1990. In 1993, the ES was joined in production by the S-6S Super Coyote.〔〔〔〔 All models of the S-6 feature a welded 4130 steel tube cockpit, with a bolted aluminum tube rear fuselage, wing and tail surfaces all covered in fabric. In the initial S-6 and S-6ES, the fabric consists of pre-sewn Dacron envelopes, which shorten construction time. The S-6S, however, uses the more traditional dope and fabric. The reported construction times for the ES are 250 man-hours versus 500 for the Super.〔〔〔〔〔〔 The Coyote II kit can be ordered with tricycle or conventional landing gear, and can also be equipped with floats and skis. The original basic engine was the Rotax 503 of , with the Rotax 582 of being available as an option. Today, the standard engine is the Rotax 912UL, with the Rotax 912ULS being optional.〔〔〔〔〔〔 The aircraft can also be fitted with the Sauer S 2200 UL〔(Aerokurier ), Aerokurier〕 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「Rans S-6 Coyote II」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
