Design

Avocet Aircraft Kit-Planes
The AV24
Clean-sheet design program creating better dynamic stability
New airfoil series developed for increased control and lower drag

Computational fluid dynamics including dynamic stability using USM3D Navier-Stokes.

Finite element analysis completed.  CFR-title 14, subpart 23 using AGATE design allowables.

Safety and Performance

Predictable flight characteristics with excellent spin resistance and recovery
Fast deploying whole-plane parachute system as an option
200 KTAS @10,000 ft. with fixed gear, excellent utility, and an LSA stall speed
