Push-pull Twin Canard... Now, THAT'S interesting!
What's the cruise speed? Vne? Fuel flow? Climb? etcetcetc. Please :)
Cheers,
Petri
The aircraft is a Rutan Defiant. The performance is 170 Kts cruise and
max speed about 200Kts. This changes according to engines used and how
clean the airframe is.
Fuel burn is what ever two engines burn. Two lycs two mazda or what
ever. Fuel is 100 Gal. 4 seats single engine performance with wood fixed
pitch props is about like a fully loaded Cessna 172. It is a home built
and specs vary according to the way each airframe is built.
