LearAvia Lear Fan 2100 TurboProp. (LFPV-LFPZ) Velizy Air Base to Saint Cyr Aerodrome, France.

Описание: The Lear Fan was designed by Bill Lear, but was not completed before he died in 1978. It was planned for production to be carried out in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in a new factory built with money from the British Government in an effort to boost employment. The aircraft had a pressurized cabin and was designed for a service ceiling of 41,000 ft (12 500 m). It could accommodate two pilots and seven passengers, or one pilot and eight passengers. It featured a pusher configuration in which two engines powered a single constant-speed three- or four-bladed propeller at the rear of the aircraft. A purpose-built gearbox allowed two Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6B turboshaft engines to supply power via two independent driveshafts. The intent of the design was to provide the safety of multi-engine reliability, combined with single-engine handling in the event of the failure of one of the engines.

The base is located approximately 2 miles (3.2 km) southeast of Vélizy-Villacoublay, about 8 miles (13 km) southwest of Paris. The air base is also important for the national security of France through the Joint Service Helicopter Group (Groupe interarmées d'hélicoptères). The Group is a joint Army / Air Force unit and provides air mobility to the country's two prime counter-terror units - the National Gendarmerie's GIGN and the National Police's RAID. The force is composed of six Aérospatiale SA 330 Puma helicopters, four provided by the Army Special Operations Brigade's 4th Special Forces Helicopter Regiment and two by the French Air and Space Force.

It is situated 4 km north-west of Versailles and 21 km from Paris. The aeronautical vocation of Saint-Cyr-l'Ecole began in 1907 when Comte de la Vaulx erected a hangar to house an airship. During the First World War, the aerodrome was used as a workshop and as a site for repairing damaged aircraft. In 1947, it was opened to public air traffic. Paris Airport took over the operation of the aerodrome after the Second World War. Saint-Cyr Aerodrome is home to 12 flying clubs with a combined membership of 1,250 pilots. The aerodrome's total footprint is 81 hectares.
