EAGLE HELICYCLE
TYPE: Single-seat ultralight helicopter kitbuilt.
PROGRAMME: Prototype (N3275Q) registered in April 1995. First customer-built aircraft (N9019U) assembled by Douglas Swochert of Burlington, Wisconsin; initially intended with two-stroke Rotax, but completed with T62 turboshaft and registered as a Swochert AAV 95.
CUSTOMERS: At least 30 kits sold by 2002. Mr Swochert registered a second in his name in April 2002.
DESIGN FEATURES: Embodies best features from Mr Schramm's experience of rotary-wing design; comparable in capabilities to industry-standard Robinson R22, but single-seat. Conventional appearance; small streamlined, enclosed cabin with power plant, gearbox and fuel immediately to rear; tail rotor and empennage mounted on open boom; dorsal and ventral fins, latter incorporating tail bumper. Two-blade main and tail rotors. Handling assisted by fully harmonised rotor; modulated collective system; elastomenc thrust bearings; generous flapping angle for low g and slope landing conditions; control friction devices; and electronic throttle control.
STRUCTURE: Metal tube structure with composites cabin.
LANDING GEAR: Twin-skid type.
POWER PLANT: One piston or turbine engine. Two-stroke Rotax initially proposed, but support changed in 2002 to Hirth 3701 rated at 64.9kW at 5,000 rpm. Alternative 59.6kW Rotax 912 flat-four installation under development in 2002. First production helicopter flown with Solar T62 turbine ground power plant derated to 78.3kW; modified T62 installation offered by Eagle. Fuel capacity 79.0 litres.
