    Hello Gwen from below. Wing loading is described this way. Let's say at gross weight the plane is 3000 lbs. On this same airplane the square footage of the main wing is 200 square feet. You take the weight of the plane divided by 200 and get a load of 15 lbs per square foot. Airliners can have a load of over 100 lbs per square foot. This makes them more stable in turbulence. There are less likely to be moved around by minor atmospheric bumps, etc.

      Shark is aerodynamically extremely clean aircraft. With R915&916 Shark will fly well over 400 kmh/215 kts in cruise, which is beyond our current flutter limits. We must therefore reinforce the airframe, redo the test campaign and do new certification. It’s work in progress but will take some time still.

      DarkAero… very good social network promotion … of virtual aircraft having virtual performance with virtual engine produced by virtual technology by virtual team. boys have good game, burning money, and making big waves. to deliver aircrafts and live from it is different story, not so funny. Basic mistakes - type of used engine plus no turbo, hollow grid technology, composite aircraft with metal shapes, planned empty weight -no way -I expect 70- 100 kg more, backward retracting all gears will make them tough life with CG. Lancair and Glasair framed this group a years ago, with thousands of produced kits and flying aircrafts. This is placed somewhere between, but with above mentioned mistakes. It will not beat them. it will take next years and years while they will have something like product. But nice movies, enjoying, good luck.

      @Aventura2005 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sorry, you mean knots, period. 1 knot is one nautical mile per hour. Knot is a speed measure, not space (or distance), so you measure speed in km per hour, or statute miles per hour or nautical minutes miles per hour (this last one is the same as knots).

    No thanks, first you have to start with an already expensive Rotax engine, then you have to pay for the Edge modifications. Everyone seems to prefer to chase after the few rich guys who actually can fly, and ignore the much larger market for an affordable airplane. because it is so much more difficult to make. If I really want high performance, I use a turbine and prop.

      @bubbafatas2588 You probably fly for the US. Speed has officially supposed to be kmh for at least the last 14 years globally. Hopefully when the US collapses soon the world will finally be allowed to go metric. We are begging for it in aviation here in Australia.

      The engine is quite heavy for a 600 kg/1300 lbs mtow aircraft limiting the payload. Shark with 140 hp will fly over 215 kts in cruise, which is over the flutter limits of current airframe. There are also other reasons but these are the 2 key ones.

    What's the useful load? What's the fuel capacity? What's the price? An entire long video with no price! Why not a simple Lycoming engine? Why this expensive and complicated rotax? Why do you talk in km/h? Clearly you're not pilots. We don't fly in km/h. Our maps and airspeed indicators aren't in km/h. Who's buying these planes? The GA environment in Europe is so horrible for the average pilot. Yeah, nice video, but zero practical information.

      Typical emty weight is 350 kg, MTOW 600 kg. Fuel 150 litres. Price from 200 k up to about 280k €, typical “full option” is 240k. At today inflation rate this is very temporary information. Lycoming? -if you look to one of our closest competitor Lycoming instalation, you will get higher weight=lower payload, lower speed, double fuel consumption, half range. Look to power/weight of engines. I fly 42 years. in km/h. Happy. On our low speeds - approach, landing, stall I see it more precise. We live in metres, milimetres, kilometres, kilograms, litres, celsius world. Happy. Who is buying? In Europe is sold about 1000 UL aircrafts per year. If you compare it with certified aircrafts, you fly for fraction of price per hour, very often faster, with lower consumption, better instruments and safer because of installed parachute. Ya, Europe is fragmented - a lot of countries. Sometimes not so simple. Even average pilots are happy to live here. :)
