Description
Twin-engine aircraft have gained much popularity in recent years due to their comfort for pilots and ease of landing on different types of runways.
The most extensive selection of avionics is available for the Tecnam P2006T, in order to enable long-range and wide-area flights.
Benefits include a reduced nose end and improved power-to-weight ratio, which allows for lower fuel consumption. The one-piece horizontal stabiliser is designed for outstanding longitudinal stability with excellent control authority. A large depth compensator starts from the trailing edge of the stabiliser and functions as an anti-servo system.
In addition, this model is currently serving as the basis for NASA's development of the X-57, its first electric aircraft.
The P2006T has a retractable landing gear. The main landing gear is equipped with Cleeveland wheels (6.00X6), and with brakes on the pedals. The nose wheel is 5.00X5, connected to a telescopic fork with an oil-pneumatic shock absorber. It is connected to the firewall through a steel bedplate.
The Rotax 912S engine is FAR33 certified, and is currently the only engine approved to use automotive fuel, giving it a significant competitive advantage over other general aviation engines.
