AZOR light aircraft
Advanced design, construction and extensive testing of an all-composite LSA category aircraft for basic flight training and general aviation purposes.
Development of the Azor demanded intensive use of state of the art engineering techniques, including full CAD structural design and computer calculations of all aerodynamic characteristics, performances, stability and control. Stress and strength analysis was made with FEM programs. Massive application of composite materials in sandwich construction was applied on the entire airframe.
This advanced light aircraft was conceived for a wide variety of uses in general light aviation, such as recreational flight, primary training, regional liaison, aerial photography, banner towing and the like. Thanks to its short take-off and landing capabilities and exceptional handling qualities, this aircraft also allows for agricultural ultra-low-volume crop spraying, general aerial surveillance and monitoring of critical environmental variables. Potential UAV conversion is currently under study.
