Preliminary design (brief description of the work).

Subject: Creation of a new training aircraft
Design & study: Konstantinos Panitsidis

Declaration
The K.P.S. projects have been studied in detail. However, in this presentation, the three-view drawings, as well as the results of the calculations, have undergone a partial, deliberate distortion to discourage the production of counterfeit copies.



The aircraft is designed to replace the older aircraft T-2 E / C Buckeye training aircraft of the Hellenic Air Force.

It has two LARZAC 04R20 twin turbo engines of 1,500 kgf each and has an electronic flight control system that simulates the features of modern fighters.
