AÁrnason Global 3 - ish...

45.7k Sgtk  one month ago

"The AÁrnason Global 3 was a 2000s Icelandic twin pusher aeroplane intended to make an aerial circumnavigation. The aeroplane was a low-wing monoplane of all-metal construction. It had a fully faired fuselage, with the pilot and passengers positioned well ahead of the wing in order to give unobstructed visibility.[1] It had a fixed tricycle undercarriage. Power was supplied by two Jabiru 2200 engines, positioned above the wing, which drove two pusher propellers. The aircraft's systems were designed to deal with possible engine failure. The propellers were fitted with folding blades, and would feather in the event of engine failure.[1] Each engine had independent electrical and fuel systems, arranged so that they be applied to the other engine if necessary. Two fuel tanks were built into the wings, with it being possible to transfer fuel between tanks." Standard flight controls. It has flaps, but they arent really required. Forgive me, its been about 6 years since i've worked on any planes, so I am a little rusty. Looking forward to SP2, and thought I'd shake off some cobwebs. Anyway, thanks for stopping by and enjoy your lfight!
