Light Sport Aircraft Pilot is a directory of aircraft that generally fit
into what are described as ultralight aircraft, advanced ultralight
aircraft,
light sport aircraft, experimental light sport aircraft, experimental
aircraft, amateur built aircraft, ELSA or homebuilt
aircraft in the United States and Canada. These include
weight shift aircraft, more commonly known as trikes,
powered parachutes, and powered para-gliders.

Tecnam Aircraft introduced their all new Tecnam P2008 to the
U.S. light sport aircraft market at the U.S. Sport Aviation
Expo 2010.
The P2008 breaks from the traditional all metal aircraft
that have been offered by Tecnam as it has an all composite
carbon fiber fuselage, with metal wings.

The Tecnam P2008 also features:
?A carbon fiber vertical stabilizer
?A semi-tapered wing
?Increased larger cockpit
?Large doors
?Excellent visibility with rear windows
?An exceptionally quiet cabin
By using carbon fiber Tecnam was able to the optimize the
aerodynamic qualities, flight characteristics of the P2008.
Tecnam was able to utilize the expertise from its
acquisition of Tecnam Spain. This addition allows Tecnam to
make decisions based on design and structural integrity
rather than purely the cost of production.
The wing is based on the well known NACA63A airfoil, and
through partial tapering, it is brought close to the optimal
lift distribution (elliptical). The single-slot flaps extend
along much of the wing span. The Frise type aileron along
with the taper design provide a high rate of roll.
The all movable type (stabilator) horizontal tail,
traditional on all Tecnam aircraft, allows excellent
controllability and excellent ?hands off? longitudinal
stability.
The nose gear is free castering and consists of a tubular
steel leg connected to the lower engine mount attachments,
and is braced by a rubber shock absorber. All of the landing
gear is faired to minimize drag. Ground steering is by
differential braking.
The P2008 has high fuel capacity 110 liters - approximately
29 U.S. gallons; and the fuel tanks are installed in the
wing box, behind the main spar, to preserve their integrity
in case of a crash landing and to minimize fire potential.
The cabin width allows a large instrument panel size. It is
modular design and permits to fit the most complete
instrumentation, analog or digital.
The Tecnam P2008 is now available in the U.S. under the
Light Sport Aircraft category. |
