Karoliina model 1 iteration 1

Karoliina model 1 concept iteration 1

200 kts with Rotax 914

Specs:
2 places: side by by side staggered seating (co-pilot a bit behind pilot)
Configuration: Pusher with Y-tail.
Engine: Rotax 914 115 hp (100 hp continuous), Propeller: Woodcomp SR3000
Body: 60% laminar flow body.
Body laminarity target: 100% laminar flow with suction.
Landing gear: Trigear, retractable nosegear, Steve Wright noselift. Main gear connected to wing spars at 90 degrees angle.
Wing configuration: Conventional, midwing position
Wing loading: 82 kg/m^2 (16.8 lbs/sqft)
Airfoil: NASA NLF(1)414F.
Flap config: Single slotted flaps with external hinges
AR = 10
L/Dmax = 19.8 at 115 kts
L (wing chord) = 0.8 m
wing area = 8 m^2
wing span = 8 m
Re min (stall) = 1829224
Re cruise = 4217074
Re max cruise = 5586254
empty weight = 366 kg
gross weight = 666 kg
fuel capacity = 140 liters
max cruise speed = 200 kts 370 km/h at 7000 feet
stall speed = 50 kts 92 km/h
approach speed = ~70 kts 130 km/h
drag coefficient target = < 0.016 (total drag). Lower is better. With 100% laminar flow body, a much lower drag coefficient might be possible, this figure is conservative.
