Construction The Tecnam Astore is a low wing, two-place, single-engine airplane equipped with tricycle landing gear. The all metal airframe structure is complemented by the selective use of an epoxy reinforced matrix of carbon/glass fiber for the upper radome and fairings. Landing Gear The main landing gear consists of two 7075T6 light alloy springs which are hinged inside the fuselage in order to maximize the wheel deflection and energy absorption efficiency. These springs are supported by robust machined components which spread the load directly onto the main bulkheads. Two rawhide liners are inserted between each spring-leaf and the external machined beam. Two bolts secure the individual spring-leaf to the edge of the beam via a light alloy clamp while a single bolt secures the inboard end of the leaf-spring to the hinge and inner machined beam. The nose gear is free castering and is supported by an oleo-pneumatic shock absorber connected directly to the firewall. Differential toe brakes for steering are standard for both pilot and co-pilot with redundant brake master cylinders (4 in total). The horizontal tail is made up of a stabilizer and elevator with tip balancing horns. All the control surfaces, except for the flaps and trim tab, are balanced, and all the surfaces, except for the rudder and fuselage aileron line, are controlled via push-pull rods. Powerplant and propeller Standard engine is the well-known Rotax 912ULS2 but the injected (912iS2) and turbocharged (914UL2) version are also available. The standard propeller is a two blade fixed pitch wooden-composite wrapped Sensenich, with composite made propellers from the same brand also available in two and three bladed versions. The total usable fuel is 29 Gal (110lt) while the entire fuel system runs below the cabin structure, protecting the occupants from the fuel lines, which consist of rigid hoses and AN fittings. The canopy forms an integral part of the upper radome sliding forward and aft with final closing achieved by pulling the canopy vertically down onto an automotive-type seal. Three latches and 4 pins secure the canopy to the radome ensuring the best sound proofing possible. Cabin The Cabin offers newly designed seats and seat rails which are easily operated and adjustable fore and aft via a single handle with a reinforced area between the rails to make cabin access even easier. A roomy baggage compartment accommodates voluminous items with both external and internal access. A strong automotive seal is used on the baggage door and a courtesy lamp illuminates when this big door is opened. A newly designed and wide cockpit panel provides the largest choice of avionics on offer with a comfortable armrest and USB charger rounding out the luxurious interior. The avionics package always includes an iPad Mini with a built in application called "Tecnam Astore Owner app" containing a lot of relevant and useful information. www.tecnam.com Pag. | 4 SPECIFICATION & DESCRIPTION Everything about the Tecnam Astore is designed to allow you and your passenger to experience the most outstanding style, comfort, beauty and technology.
