SNAW X-Wing

Auto Credit Based on FeatherWing's (CLOSED) Unusual General Aviation CHALLENGE

FICTIONAL STORY

This light aircraft made of composite materials has been designed with some fixed points in mind: Three seats, short take-off and landing, limited dimensions for lower hangar costs and economy of purchase and management.

The biplane formula allows you to maintain a limited wingspan and various economies (such as the fixed landing gear) are born to contain costs. The aircraft has excellent efficiency, allowing fuel savings and good performance.

The air sucked in from the upper part for cooling is enriched with the hot exhaust gases and conveyed to an outlet in the lower part, allowing further propulsion.
