The undercarriage is simple ..... efficient, sturdy aluminum with 2 blades at the rear, equipped with 2400 * 4 wheels, longer driveable head welded fork. The drive is through a kind Carbon DUC propeller with a generous diameter (1.74m) for an optimal thrust.

The Machine's stability is assured through a large tail group, with two vertical fixed purpose with an aerodynamic symmetrical profile & and mobile rudders, completed with a horizontal 1 m² stabilizer with a span of 2 m, it is all supported by two keels (diameter 64" AU4G ). All tail winglets are more to efficiently direct the airflow and further top increase the general stability.

This is confirmed in flight with an exemplary behavior. No effect is noticed engine, normal pitch variation with different engine settings, normal vibration or resonance.

The push trust line is exactly going through the general gravity center, this is one of our little secret stability and safety of the Xenon... We have kept a propeller clearance of 18 "and 22" at the tail; Permitting easy off-road uses floats and gold mounting!

We have an aussi reserved a location on the frame for rocket launch parachute-in soft-pack, side eject.

* Static test at 15 ° C, low pitch propeller set.

.....We have chosen differente engines worthy of this concept, with a generous continuous power from Rotax 912S with 100 hp, 914 Turbo with 115 hp and the new 912 Turbo with 122.5 hp ; economic, quiet, torquy, minimal maintenance.
