  • Page 112: Airframe

    The Aquila AT01-100 is a modern single engine two seater in a side-by-side configuration. Due to its high useful load, roomy cockpit, large baggage compartment, good cruise performance and light yet incredibly sturdy airframe, the Aquila is not only a great aircraft for longer tours but also an ideal training platform.

  • Page 113: Empennage

    The horizontal stabilizer assembly is bonded directly to the fuselage and cannot be removed. FLIGHT CONTROLS The flight controls of the Aquila AT01-100 are of conventional design using a control column and non-adjustable rudder pedals. The elevator and ailerons are controlled via push-pull-rods, the rudder via cables.

  • Page 119 It is important that no dirt or snow accumulate underneath the wheel pants. For this reason the Aquila AT01-100 can be operated with either full wheel pants (high-speed), with mud guards (soft-field), or without any wheel fairings. The aircraft can also be flow with a combination of wheel fairings, as long as the left and right main wheels have the same fairing.
