The Aquila A210 is a single-engine, two-seat motorized aircraft in fiber composite construction . It is intended for flight training and as a small aircraft for private and commercial use.
history
The development of the A210 began in 1995 by the engineers Peter Grundhoff, Alfred Schmiderer and Markus Wagner, who previously worked as designers on the development of the Stemme S10 , the FFT Eurotrainer 2000 and other sports aircraft. The computer-designed machine was to be a cheaper and faster travel and training aircraft than the Diamond DA20 Katana with a longer range . In 1996 the " Aquila Technical Developments GmbH " was founded and the following year the establishment of a production facility in Schönhagen was started. After successful structural load tests at the Technical University of Berlin and a static vibration test, the aircraft was presented to the public at the AERO aviation trade fair in Friedrichshafen in 1999.
On March 5, 2000, the first flight of the D-EQUI prototype with Heiner Neumann took place at Schönhagen airfield .
The flight tests were completed in March 2001, the type certification of the aircraft, designed according to the European building regulations JAR-VLA , followed in September. With the appropriate equipment, the A210 is approved for visual flight at night.
construction
The machine is a two - seater low- wing aircraft in GRP / CFRP composite construction with a strongly constricted tail unit and a normal tail unit with damped horizontal and vertical stabilizers . The one-piece triple-trapezoidal wing with two 60-liter integral fuel tanks has an adapted HQ-41 laminar profile in cross section. Flaps can be moved electrically to 0 °, 20 ° and 35 °. Behind the cockpit with an interior width of 1.15 m is the luggage compartment, which is accessible from the outside through a flap in the left side of the fuselage. The landing gear is rigid and the nose wheel can be controlled using the rudder pedals.
production
The series production in the mold set made by the fiber optic aircraft service in Grabenstetten with a CNC milling machine started in 2002. On January 17th, 2017 the 200th Aquila was delivered.
Versions
After the end of insolvency proceedings and the change of name to Aquila Aviation by Excellence in spring 2008, the A210 has been offered in a version with a two-bladed propeller and a double-display cockpit since 2009.
Another version is the A210 SXT specially developed for clubs and flight schools with z. B. a second speedometer on the copilot's side and a so-called training visor for the student pilot, which makes it easier to assess the flight position via the rounded nose of the fuselage. The bikes are only equipped with mudguards.
The A211 as a further development of the original design is offered with three avionics packages from analog primary and engine instrumentation to a glass cockpit (A211, A211G, A211GX).
The variant announced at AERO 2014 with a turbocharged Rotax 914 engine and better performance under hot and high conditions is offered as the A212GX Turbo .
