construction
The most important design feature of the Cavalon is the design as a side-by-side gyroplane , i.e. that is, the pilot and passenger seats are side by side. The fuselage is made of a closed monocoque construction and, like the tail units, is made of carbon fiber and glass fiber reinforced plastic . The cabin is double-walled to muffle the engine noise.
