| Source measurement | All G1 models have a fuselage made from welded steel tubing, with the wing made from aluminum , all covered in doped aircraft fabric . The Gelinotte variant has a 9.9 m (32.5 ft) span wing with an area of 14.80 m 2 (159.3 sq ft) and features leading edge slots . The SPYL model uses vortex generators in place of the slots, has the same wing span, but a slightly smaller wing area of 14.27 m 2 (153.6 sq ft). All models are equipped with flaps and have optional folding wings for ground transport and storage. Standard engines available are the 60 kW (80 hp) Rotax 912UL and the 75 kW (101 hp) Rotax 912ULS four-stroke powerplants. The company also offers a new exhaust system for the Rotax 912 that is quieter than the stock Rotax-supplied system.[source]G1 Aviation G1 · Design and development; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Wheel-equipped version introduced at the Aero show held in Friedrichshafen in 2010 and named for the two designers of the aircraft model, Serge Present and Yvan Lhermitte. The SPYL replaces the Gelinotte's wing, which is equipped with leading edge slots, with a new wing equipped with vortex generators instead. The new wing makes this model 20 kg (44 lb) lighter and 15%-20% faster than the Gelinotte. SPYL wings can be retrofitted to the Gelinotte.[source]G1 Aviation G1 · Variants; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Agricultural aircraft version with the same wing as the SPYL, employing vortex generators in place of leading edge slots. It can be equipped with an external chemical tank of up to 150 L (40 US gal) and spraying equipment. It is only sold ready-to-fly with the 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS engine.[source]G1 Aviation G1 · Variants; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Wingspan: 9.9 m (32 ft 6 in)[source]G1 Aviation G1 · Specifications (G1 SPYL); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Wing area: 14.27 m 2 (153.6 sq ft)[source]G1 Aviation G1 · Specifications (G1 SPYL); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Empty weight: 274 kg (604 lb)[source]G1 Aviation G1 · Specifications (G1 SPYL); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Gross weight: 472.5 kg (1,042 lb)[source]G1 Aviation G1 · Specifications (G1 SPYL); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Fuel capacity: 76 litres (17 imp gal; 20 US gal)[source]G1 Aviation G1 · Specifications (G1 SPYL); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Powerplant: 1 × Rotax 912ULS four cylinder, liquid and air-cooled, four stroke aircraft engine , 75 kW (101 hp)[source]G1 Aviation G1 · Specifications (G1 SPYL); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Maximum speed: 200 km/h (120 mph, 110 kn)[source]G1 Aviation G1 · Specifications (G1 SPYL); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Cruise speed: 182 km/h (113 mph, 98 kn)[source]G1 Aviation G1 · Specifications (G1 SPYL); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Stall speed: 50 km/h (31 mph, 27 kn)[source]G1 Aviation G1 · Specifications (G1 SPYL); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Rate of climb: 5 m/s (980 ft/min)[source]G1 Aviation G1 · Specifications (G1 SPYL); only the objects and conditions stated in this passage | — |
