Airplane "BeStar"
Ultralight "BeStar" airplane is intended for the en-rout flights at the distance of 2000 km, initial training of pilots, patrolling the (AEP, gas-and-oil pipelines, fish exploration areas, highways, etc).
Aviation and chemical work can be carried on after mounting the required farming equipment.
Aircraft instrumentation provides to perform the flights in the normal weather condition. There is a possibility to install the equipment allowing night flying.
On request of the customer, the rescue system may be installed, and re-equipment of the airplane with the flotating landing gears will allow taking off and landing on the water surface.
The main designation: aerotaxi.
Variants of use: initial training of pilots, practice and pleasure flights, patrolling.
Service condition: Day and night flights under normal weather conditions. Take-off and landing from artificial and ground airfields. Take off and landing on the water surface.
Arrangement: classical high-flying plane with the cantilever wing driven by a pulling power-plants, tri-prop landing gear with a nose-wheel.
Construction: Fuselage and empennage are wholly made of the composite materials on basis of carbon. Landing gears are of the non-tractable spring type with freely oriented nose-wheel and brake-wheels of the main props.
