The Giles G-200 is an American aerobatic homebuilt aircraft that was produced by AkroTech Aviation of Scappoose, Oregon. When it was available the aircraft was supplied as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft or a kit for amateur construction. The first customer-built aircraft made its first flight on May 26, 1996.[1] AkroTech Aviation went out of business and the design is no longer in production.[2][3]

Design and development

The G-200 features a cantilever low-wing, a single-seat enclosed cockpit under a bubble canopy, fixed conventional landing gear with wheel pants and a single engine in tractor configuration.[2]

The aircraft is made from composites. Its Шаблон:Convert span wing employs a Mort airfoil, has full-span ailerons but no flaps and a wing area of Шаблон:Convert. The cabin width is Шаблон:Convert and has provisions for pilots from Шаблон:Convert in height and Шаблон:Convert to Шаблон:Convert and Шаблон:Convert. When the aircraft was in production custom cockpit sizes were also available as options.[2]

The G-200's acceptable installed power range is Шаблон:Convert and the standard engine used is the Шаблон:Convert Lycoming IO-360 powerplant.[2][4]

The G-200 has an empty weight of Шаблон:Convert and a gross weight of Шаблон:Convert, giving a useful load of Шаблон:Convert. With full fuel of Шаблон:Convert the payload is Шаблон:Convert.[2]

The manufacturer estimates the construction time from the supplied quick-build kit as 1000 hours.[2]

Operational history

By 1998 the company reported that 26 kits had been sold and one aircraft was flying.[2]

In December 2013 ten examples were registered in the United States with the Federal Aviation Administration, with a further two no longer registered.[5] There was one G-200 registered with Transport Canada.[6]
