About my work part 2, Airplane Farmer

Hello steemit`s!!!  

Today I want to tell you about the main direction of our production . The company called MVEN . It is situated in the glorious city of Kazan . It engaged in the production of aircraft it and rescue systems.

 So I imagine your attention airplane Farmer , which is designed for the chemical processing of farms and fields.

 
Its advantage is that it can take off from the airfield like and with a dirt surface.

Its design is based on extensive analysis of market needs and demands, in a close contact with farm enterprises and agricultural aircraft operators. Main concepts for Farmer are high safety and low-cost operation. “Farmer” doesn’t demand a special runway, a rolled grounding will be enough. The airframe is all-composite, so the problem of corrosion resistance while working with aggressive chemical materials is essentially simplified. Wing airfoil and shape provide good anti-stalling characteristics on high angles of attack. Wing devices include hinged flaps and slot flaps. Fuselage layout is typical for agricultural aircrafts with an engine in the nose, chemical hopper right behind it just at the aircraft’s center of mass and cockpit following all that. This scheme is developed to provide maximum pilot protection in case of aircraft crash. Besides this, “Farmer” is equipped with parachute recovery system. This makes a great contribution to safety flight, as in several cases recovery system proved to be effective even at low altitudes of 5-10 m. Heavy-duty main undercarriage is pyramid with air-hydraulic shock absorbers. Main wheels of 600 mm in diameter and separately driven hydraulic brakes provide high cross-country abilities.Able to fully castor, the tail wheel is mounted on titanium shock absorber. Thoroughly worked through airframe and control surfaces aerodynamics provides great aircraft stability and controllability, which is of a great importance at low-altitude flights. “Farmer” was run through operation testing in 2005-2006. In June 2006 the aircraft showed the greatest productivity of 1800 ha. per a day with application rate of 7 liters/ha. and 2800 ha. with application rate of 3 liters/ha. Every issued airplane has a Russian certificate - Single Aircraft Instance, which corresponds to American certificate – Experimental.  

 I hope you enjoyed it. )
