2023 ICP Aviazone Ventura

The kit has been reviewed by the FAA, ENAC, IAA, South African CAA & many other Civil Aviation Authority in Europe & all over the world & it has been found eligible for licensing in the Experimental Amateur-Built category. This means that the fabrication work we do on the kit components is less than 50% of the total required to complete the aircraft & that at least 51% of the work remains for the kit builder. By virtue of the new wing with Riblett GA 35-418 airfoil, The Ventura-4 can approach for landing as slow as 80 kph (50 mph/43 knots) at maximum weight & with its high propeller clearance, can operate from semi-prepared runways shorter than 250 meters with a large margin of safety. Combining such excellent STOL characteristics, typical of all ICP family aircraft, with high cruising speed & brilliant manoeuvrability with brisk roll response, the aircraft offers optimal performance in any situation giving the pilot full control & a lot of fun. The Ventura is an extremely versatile aircraft, & thanks to the large engine compartment it can be powered with a variety of solutions ranging from the compact Rotax 912 (recommended for the 2-seater version only) to the powerful 180 HP Lycoming IO-360. All this combined with a considerable payload (415 kg if equipped with Rotax 915 iS or 320 kg if with Lycoming IO-360). Structure The Ventura 4 is a monoplane type, with 4 seats, fitted with a high wing supported by struts. All metal structure with load resisting panels. High lift GA 35 418 Aerofoil with Junkers type flaperon (aileron + flap) with electrical control. Trim with electrical control on the elevator & with manual control on the rudder. Long range wing fuel tanks with 2×36 litres capacity in each wing. The tanks are connected & flow into a 18 ltr collection sump placed in the fuselage. A single drain valve at the bottom of the fuselage is provided for fuel sampling. Cockpit The two large removable lateral doors allow easy independent access to the cabin. Doors are fully transparent allowing good visibility. The cockpit is insulated, has upholstery covered seats & a fitted carpet. The cabin arrangement features two upholstery adjustable front seats & 2 rear upholstered seats. The luggage compartment situated behind the rear seats is accessible during the flight & can hold up to 20 Kg (45 lbs). The cabin’s ventilation is provided by cabin adjustable air scoops on the side of the forward fuselage. A dynamic air scoop intended to extract the cabin air is fitted at the top of the baggage compartment. Heating system can be orientated on feet or on windshield with control on the dashboard. Cabin light. Standard Instruments Instrument panel completely customizable by the customer. By default we provide the basic analogue instrumentation to be able to fly (Air speed indicator 3 1/8” with coloured arcs, Altimeter 3 1/8” with setting window, Vertical speed indicator 3 1/8”, Magnetic Compass, Slip & skid indicator, as well as engine instruments if compatible) The wide panel lends itself well to house the latest generation digital instrumentation.
