From Technika Lotnicza 1971,
West German designer Josef Schaih designed a twin-engine, four-seat touring aircraft with short takeoff and landing capabilities.
The twin-engine configuration was chosen both because of the aircraft's STOL capabilities and because Volkswagen could supply a 200 hp aircraft engine, which could compete with the widely used American piston engines.
The aircraft has an all-metal wing with a trapezoidal outline and a two-spar box, part of which serves as an integral fuel tank.
The metal ailerons have a large surface area, providing the aircraft with controllability about the longitudinal axis equivalent to that of a single-engine aircraft. The flaps are slotted. The metal fuselage, with a semi-shell construction, is cylindrical in its central section, which houses the cabin. Behind the cabin are the fuel system and avionics. The nose section of the fuselage is made of plastic.
The tailplane is of a conventional type. The retractable landing gear is electric, but in the event of a drive failure, it can be extended by gravity.
The wheels have hydraulic disc brakes. The 12V DC electrical system is powered by two generators.
Two 200 hp VW "Zyklon" 180 engines are mounted on the wing so that, together with large slit flaps, they provide good STOL capabilities. The metal fixed-pitch propellers have a diameter of 1.90 m and a maximum rotational speed of 2,250 rpm.
Technical data: wingspan 10.80 m; length 8.80 m; Height 2.95 m; wing area 15.50 m²; empty weight 860 kg, useful load 540 kg; wing loading 90.0 kg/m²; power load 3.5 kg/hp; maximum speed 300 km/h; cruise speed at 55% takeoff power 260 km/h; rate of climb 10.0 m/s; practical ceiling 5600 m; takeoff run 160 m; ground run 180 m; range 1000 km.
