AIRCRAFT
CONSTRUCTION
The
construction technique and raw materials used are absolutely
identical to those used, and well proven, on more than 1000 X-Airs
exported Worldwide from our Factory at Bangalore. That is,
alloy aluminium tubes linked through welded steel components, and
sailcloth. This technique has many advantages over other methods of
construction, such as economy, light-weight, and easy replacement of
components by the user itself, making maintenance and repairs cheap
and simple. Moreover, the structure will deform under impact,
absorbing energy, thus providing an excellent passive safety factor.
CONTROLS
The
Hanuman features full dual controls, with the exception of the
main pilot seat having brakes and flaps controls. The cockpit can
accomodate even the tallest of pilots with both seats mounted on
adjustable rails. The front wheel is fitted with a spring suspension
while the rear wheel has an efficient bungee suspension and are both
fitted with individual drum brakes. The Hanuman is highly
suited for flight training operations and is being introduced into
British flight schools as competitive alternative to the Cessna 152
type of aircraft.
