  • Page 3 . SECTION I General Description of Airplane The W-295 is a high wing monoplane. The wing is fully cantilever and of all metal construction. The fuselage cabin section is a metal covered tubular structure and the aft section is all metal semi- monocoque.
  • Page 4 The ailerons are the Frieze type, of 2024 alclad diagonal rib truss structure, fabric covered, They are hinged at both ends and operated by a push-pull tube at the ce&ex, The interceptors consist of heavy aluminum alloy curved plates (inboard) They emerge from the wings incon- and forward of each aileron).
  • Page 5 SECTION II+F&IGHT,AND OPERATING INSTRUCTTONS The HT.295 incsrporates flight control devices to insure safe flight at slow air speeds without detriment to high-speed flight. however, The cockpit contmls, is the same as in any ather fixed-wing airplane. The exceptional degree of control is obtained by the use of reading edge slats, large flaps, interceptors and a fully movable horimntal tail surface with its anti-balance tab.
  • Page 6 effective that through their normal use, it is possible to overcome the effects of both slats remaining closed on one side. All 1700 series aircraft have electric powered flaps as F L A P S standard with flap position Indicator on the instrument panel. Full flap can be used for landing under all normal wind conditions.
