  • Page 85: 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.

    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.

    7.10 CANOPY The large canopy of the AQUILA AT01-100 offers an excellent all around view and allows unrestricted access to the cabin. Small sliding windows on both sides of the canopy serve as emergency view windows and can be used for additional cabin ventilation.

  • Page 91: Landing Gear

    Because of the robust landing gear and the 5.00 x 5 wheels on the nose and main wheels the AQUILA AT01-100 can be easily operated from a grass surface. The aircraft can be operated with full size wheel pants or, for soft field operation, mud guards.
  • Page 92 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 flown with a combination of wheel fairings, as long as the left and right main wheels have the same fairing.
