| Source measurement | — | The LH-10 Ellipse is a low-wing, tandem two-seat light kit aircraft, powered by a 100 hp Rotax petrol engine in a pusher-propeller configuration. Its low weight and unusual configuration is designed to deliver a very high cruising speed with exceptional fuel economy. This high speed and a relatively high 50-knot stall speed will exclude it from the UK Microlight or United States LSA categories, so a full single-engine private pilot certificate will be the minimum certification requirement to fly it in these countries, which are not the immediate target of the manufacturer, anyway. At the 2008 Farnborough Airshow LH-Aviation said that for the future they would be looking into LSA/ELA compliant production, possibly for the United States.[source]LH Aviation LH-10 Ellipse · Design and development; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage The airframe is constructed of composite material based on ingredients produced by DSM . The production model is powered by a Rotax 912 four-cylinder reciprocating engine. (It has been tested using the 100 hp ULS variant, other options having been tested and discarded.) The undercarriage is a tricycle design, and will be available in fixed or electrically retractable front wheel configuration. The plane's design, with propeller in the tail and a short-nosed fuselage with a forward pilot seat in glider configuration, offers a field of view of 300 degrees.[source]LH Aviation LH-10 Ellipse · Design and development; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Length: 5.11 m (16 ft 9 in) excluding nose probe[source]LH Aviation LH-10 Ellipse · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Wingspan: 8.00 m (26 ft 3 in)[source]LH Aviation LH-10 Ellipse · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Height: 2.40 m (7 ft 10 in)[source]LH Aviation LH-10 Ellipse · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Wing area: 4.50 m 2 (48.4 sq ft)[source]LH Aviation LH-10 Ellipse · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Empty weight: 300 kg (661 lb)[source]LH Aviation LH-10 Ellipse · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Max takeoff weight: 540 kg (1,190 lb)[source]LH Aviation LH-10 Ellipse · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Powerplant: 1 × Rotax 912 ULS flat 4-cylinder piston, air- and water-cooled, 73.5 kW (98.6 hp)[source]LH Aviation LH-10 Ellipse · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Maximum speed: 370 km/h (230 mph, 200 kn)[source]LH Aviation LH-10 Ellipse · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Cruise speed: 269 km/h (167 mph, 145 kn)[source]LH Aviation LH-10 Ellipse · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Stall speed: 106 km/h (66 mph, 57 kn)[source]LH Aviation LH-10 Ellipse · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Never exceed speed : 450 km/h (280 mph, 240 kn)[source]LH Aviation LH-10 Ellipse · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Range: 1,408 km (875 mi, 760 nmi)[source]LH Aviation LH-10 Ellipse · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Endurance: 10 hr[source]LH Aviation LH-10 Ellipse · Specifications; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage |
