At Sun 'n Fun 2016, Just Aircraft is showing off its new Titan-powered SuperSTOL XL. Harrison Smith took AVweb's Paul Bertorelli for a half-day demo flight in the new airplane, and here's AVweb's video report.

Baby brother to the Helio. Took slats, interceptor/spoiler ideas from that great STOL plane. Landing gear is similar to the Pilatus PC6 Porter. Thanks for the great introduction to the SuperSTOL XL.

i realize it is kinda randomly asking but does anyone know of a good place to stream newly released series online?

Yeah me too. At first i wanna buy a cheap cessna then maybe later build one myself.

Very impressive, especially with the high lift devices including the Handley-Page slats. I find it incredible to see the slats extend automatically as the angle of attack increases.

That takeoff is almost comically short. Nice setup!

I don’t need or want a STOL. I want to go somewhere. My part of Texas is pretty flat until you get to the hill country. I look forward to flying to big bend and the hill country.

Airfoil shaped horizontal stabilizer with outboard surfaces to achieve end plane effect. Reminds me of Guiseppe Bellanca. Leading edge slats....Willie Messerschmitt. Unlike human laws, the laws of aerodynamics are subject to neither revision nor amendment.

How does a weight difference of 10-15 lbs equal to having to need 2 extra feet claiming it's to compensate for the weight of the engine?
@gclaytony7 жыл бұрын
pmp2559 probably needed the additional length for longitudinal stability and elevator/rudder authority. Horsepower increases decrease stability as a general rule.

Clayton Yendrey oh, yes it does make sense now thank you. I guess on an airplane every little thing counts
@markdoan14725 жыл бұрын
Previous answer was completely false ..that 10 to 15 lbs diff was from the UL motor , but not the Rotax ...the fuselage was lengthened due to the difference in weight over the Rotax 912 which is about 100 lbs lighter ... not for the UL motor ... both the Titan and UL require the two foot longer fuselage over the rotax ... and that is the larger UL motor .. there are smaller UL ones similar in weight to the rotax that can use the shorter fuselage
@richardbriscoe85635 жыл бұрын
In an earlier video they said the Titan was 150# heavier and extending the fuselage was “a weight and balance thing”.

So fifty sixty grand and you have to build it yourself, damn! And if you are not a A&P mechanic you better know one. Already built is well over a hundred thousand. Okay I'll take one!

That wing structure looks extremely week, the spars are thin as anything! Not sure how that aircraft will stay structurally strong in even light turbulence that loads up the wing.

+Jeffrey Jensen kit fox based actually.... heavily modified and redesigned of course.
@markdoan14725 жыл бұрын
lol ...you can tell aircraft structural strength by looking at it ... thats pretty impressive ... why did Just Aircraft go to all the trouble of engineering calculations when you could have told them its strength at a glance ... Im guessing all the owners are just lucky there has not been one wing failure since its inception ... nor will there be ... in spite of your eyeball engineering
@sharpsdoublerifle14398 жыл бұрын
way too expensive. ditch the certified engine and put a turbo corvair in it.
@Mike-012347 жыл бұрын
Says on their website they have motor mounts for several Engines even VW I would bet you can put a corvair engine in it I think that might be little big for this? UL engines are good buy right now because EURO is weak 70 cents is one euro.
