SM-91 and SM-92 'Finist',
TechnoAvia
Light multirole
aircraft SM-92 'Finist' was designed at
TechnoAvia
enterprise in
1993.
All-metal high wing monoplane, powered with widely used M-14P
(car gasoline allowed). Automatic variable-pitch 3-blade "Muehlbauer" propeller is installed.
Specially for SM-92 new wing profile (P-301M-15) was developed.
High aspect ratio wing has very high airdynamic quality 15 in cruising configuration
and very high lift force coefficient (2.8) in landing/takeoff configuration. Large
tailplane are allows wide range of payload distribution in the cabin. Standard large
sliding door allows to fulfill all aircraft roles without any modifications.
The airplane can be flown practically from any scarcely prepared fields with
low sub-soil strength, this is ensured by a spring-type landing gear and tail wheel configuration.
On ether wheels (special low-pressure tires are optional), skis or floats, SM-92 may carry out a
number of possible rugged civilian and military applications:
- Light transport;
- Passenger;
- Paramedic;
- Crop dusting;
- Forest patrol;
- Border patrol (SM-92P, SM-91);
- etc.
Armed SM-92P was tested under order of Russian Federal Border Service. Aircraft was
tested and accepted for production, with
demand of hundreds airframes.
Navigation equipment installed on 'Finist' - King VFR (US-made). The airplane's flight
and navigation equipment allows to
operate the airplane by day and night under VFR or IFR conditions. SM-92 is certified to FAR-23 flight
standards. Production is
under way at Smolensk Aircraft Factory.
The first built SM-92 is flown by Sir Michael Krimbl, chief-pilot of Great Britain
Qeen, another serves at Brussels airclub.
In
1995
'Finist' performed a round-the-world flight, it often appears at
airshows (Moscow, Berlin, Paris, London,...). North American debut took place at Airshow Canada '95.
The Finist is available at a price that can't be matched. For 185000$ base-price
plus avionics, it's more value than any other aircraft in its class.
