2023 ICP Aviazone Savannah

Structure

The Savannah™ XL VG is a monoplane type, with two side-by-side seats, fitted with a high wing supported by struts.

The airframe structure is a full-metal one with load-resisting panels.

The wing presents a “high lift” NACA 650-18 modified airfoil with Junkers type flaperon (aileron + flap) with manual or electrical (optional) control.

Trim with electrical control on the elevator & with manual control on the rudder.

It’s possible to install a parachute “Junkers 500” type.

The tanks are installed into the wings & have 36 litres capacity each. They are communicating & flow into a collection sump, placed in the fuselage, provided with drain valve & with fuel reserve indicator connected to a push-to-test light.

Cockpit

The two large lateral doors allow an easy independent access to the cabin & they may be removed for flying in hot regions or to take pictures.

The cockpit is completely sound insulated & covered with upholstery or fitted carpet.

For a better visibility, the doors & the roof are fully transparent.

The cabin arrangement features two canvas or upholstery covered side-by-side seats.

The luggage van, situated behind the seats & accessible during the flight, may contain up to 45 lbs (20 kilograms)

The cabin’s ventilation is provided by an opening between the doors & the upper part of the cabin door frame. A dynamic air scoop intended to extract the cabin air is fitted at the bottom of the baggage compartment. It’s possible to improve the cabin ventilation by using two rotating air scoops in the doors windows.

Heating system can be orientated on feet or on windshield with control on the dashboard.

Cabin light.

Landing Gear

The main landing gear is made by a single-piece aluminium alloy single-leaf leg.

The nose landing gear (in tri-cycle configuration) is fitted with a telescopic, elastic chord shock absorber, & is steerable in order to ease the taxiing.

The hydraulic disc brakes are independents & operate on the main landing gear’s wheels.

Engine / Propeller Group

The engine cowling is completely removable to permit an easier engine van inspection.

On the upper cowling has been inserted a little door that allows an easy inspection of the oil level.

It’s possible to choose between two different engines:

– Rotax 912 UL 2 – 80 Hp with two-blade prop “Duc” with adjustable pitch on the ground;

– Rotax 912 ULS 2 – 100 Hp with three-blade prop “Duc” with adjustable pitch on the ground;

The nose is completed with a glass fibre spinner 260 mm diameter.

The new ring engine mount, that supports the engine by the rear, makes possible to have less vibrations.

The fuel system is provided with an additional electric pump shielded anti-heat.
