Description
Summary:The development of modern general aviation (GA) aircraft demands a balance between performance, safety, environmental responsibility, and regulatory compliance. This paper introduces a newly developed, single-engine, ELA1-category GA aircraft that complies with EASA CS-23 certification specifications for VFR and IFR, and is designed to set a new benchmark in safety, stability, and sustainability. Featuring advanced flight control systems, lightweight composite materials, and a fuel-efficient powertrain, this aircraft addresses current industry demands and future regulatory trends. This paper outlines the aircraft's design philosophy, key technical features, and the envisioned certification process, while also highlighting its role in the evolving ecosystem of eco-conscious general aviation.
