Cockpit with Panoramic Screen
The spacious, 110 cm wide cockpit provides plenty of room for its occupants and make it an ideal place for relaxed instruction and touring alike. Climbing in couldn’t be easier, with the entire cockpit roof sliding forward on integrated rails and a pair of easy access footsteps provided on either side to help you onto the wing. Once inside, you’ll appreciate the ergonomic seats, controls that fall instantly to hand, and the integrated air vents to keep you comfortable no matter the temperature outside. And, the unobstructed view through the one-piece bubble canopy is simply outstanding.
Wing
A significant advantage of the Alto NG is provided by the wing design. The rectangular wing plan and the generously rounded leading edge provides highly-predictable stall characteristics and a smooth ride in turbulent conditions. Each wings also incorporates a 46L fuel tank, the combined 92 litres offering a huge 625-mile range.
Fuselage
The rectangular cross section of the rear of the fuselage is combined with a smoothly curved upper surface, and a series of computer-designed internal diagonal webs stiffen the entire structure. The wings are firmly attached to the fuselage through the interconnection of the wing beams with the centre beam of the aircraft by immensely strong flanged bolts.
Tail surfaces
The horizontal and vertical tail surfaces are of a traditional arrangement. Like the main wings, they are constructed as a riveted structure with composite tips.
Flight controls
The cockpit flight control “sticks” operate the flight control surfaces through traditional rods and cables. Meanwhile, the front wheel is steerable for easy control on the ground. The brakes are hydraulically controlled by a lever located on the centre panel.
Landing gear
Of traditional tricycle design, with steerable front landing gear, the main wheels are fixed to the fuselage on tough laminate legs.
