After years of designing, engineering, building, testing, breaking, fixing, displaying, our team can proudly add flying to that list! Our P-36 has flown for the first time.
This brief video shows the moments leading up to and during the short first hop around the pattern. The P-36 was flown by test pilot Elliot Seguin who made a stop in our neck of the woods to help us take the LiteFighter into the air.
The first flight showed that the aircraft handles as one would expect, and there are no major concerns with overall stability and control authority. Engine temperatures quickly rose to our flight limit, and so Elliot felt it right to move direct to landing, rather than risk pushing the engine too hard.
Based on what we found, we are now working on adding cooling baffles, adjusting the cowl flap angles, and adjusting propeller pitch to get better overall performance in the air. We look forward to testing these updates soon, and will keep everyone informed.
Be on the lookout for a more in-depth video showing the whole test flight event.
