The two-seater plane
MAI-223

MAI-223 is a continuation of our concept of professionally designed and produced ultra light airplane with aerobatic abilities. The main difference is concluded in appreciably better performance and possibility of delivery as a kit.

During design process were made:

  • Aerodynamic calculations,
  • Calculations of stability and controllability,
  • Calculations of strength and resistance to fatigue,
  • Flutter calculations,
  • Full cycle of ground and flight tests.

Though MAI-223 is an Ultralight, it can be certified as a very light airplane, due to the fact that it was designed in accordance with JAR VLA regulations.

Description

Design features

MAI-223 is a single-engine two-seat semicantilever monoplane-parasol with non-retractable landing gear. Perfect controllability in all channels and an excellent pilot view from the cockpit make the plane extremely safe and pleasant for piloting. High thrust-to-weight ratio, high-lift device and landing gear with tail wheel allow to use airplane from short, unprepared runways. Due to the folding wing airplane is very convenient for storage and transportation.

Structure and system description

Fuselage has a mixed construction: fiberglass cockpit with alluminium frame and monocoque fiberglass rear part of fuselage.

Folding wing has two spars and stamped metal sheet ribs made of aviation aluminum alloy with diagonal bracing and fabric covering.

Ailerons, flaps and tail unit made of aluminum alloy have fabric covering.

Landing gear is of non-retractable type with tailwheel. Hydraulic disc brakes have a unit of differential braking. Floats and ski landing gear are enabled.

Flying controls is conventional; manually actuated elevator, rudder and ailerons. Flaps and trim tab are electrically actuated.

Cockpit. Accommodation is side-by-side. Fully enclosed cockpit with heater and ventilation has storage space behind seat.

Power plant can include:

  • single engine ROTAX 912ULS — a four stroke, petrol, four-cylinder engine with combined cooling and mixture formation in the carburettor and a three-blade propeller of ground adjustable pitch type with composite blades. Fuel — gasoline with octane number not less than 92.
  • single engine ROTAX 582UL or ROTAX 503UL — a 2 stroke, petrol, two-cylinder engine with mixture formation in the carburettor and a three-blade propeller of ground adjustable pitch type with composite blades. Fuel — blend of gasoline (octane number not less than 92) and two-stroke oil.

Group of engine control instruments

  • ROTAX 912ULS — a tachometer, an indicator of temperature of cylinders heads, oil temperature indicator and oil pressure indicator.
  • ROTAX 582UL or ROTAX 503UL — tachometer and temperature indicator.

Flight and navigation equipment

  • altimeter VD-10K;
  • speed indicator US-250;
  • rate of climb indicator VR-10 M
  • slip indicator EUP-61;
  • magnetic compass KI-13;
  • pitot-static tube PVD-6M.

Electrical equipment. Airplane is equipped with the battery GP 12260 (CSB Battery Co, LTD) with capacity of 26 A/h. Electric equipment with total power consumption up to 250 W at voltage 12 V can be additionally used on the board.
