Английская Википедия:Advanced Aviation Husky
The Advanced Aviation Husky, Hi-Nuski and Coyote are a family of American ultralight aircraft that was designed and produced by Advanced Aviation. The aircraft was supplied as a kit for amateur construction and introduced in 1978.[1][2]
Design and development
The Husky predates the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules, but complies with them, including the category's maximum empty weight of Шаблон:Convert. The aircraft has a standard empty weight of Шаблон:Convert. It features a cable-braced high-wing, a single-seat, open cockpit, tricycle landing gear and a single engine in pusher configuration. The aircraft is described as a "RipSilver", an unlicensed clone of the Eipper Quicksilver, which it closely resembles.[1][2]
The Husky is made from aluminum tubing, with the wings and tail surfaces covered in Dacron sailcloth. Its Шаблон:Convert span wing is cable braced from a single kingpost. The pilot is accommodated with a sling seat, suspended from the wing. The control system is unconventional with pitch controlled by weight shift, while roll is controlled by wing-mounted spoilers controlled by cables attached to the pilot's seat and actuated by weight shift. The tail surfaces are fixed.[1][2]
The Husky was later developed into the Advanced Aviation Cobra.[2]
