The wings of Champion and Bellanca Decathlons were built with wooden spars. 91 or F.A.R 135. Reissued 08/14/2012 SA2683NM Installation of Precise Flight, Inc. stand-by vacuum system (SVS) The Citabria is a light single-engine, two-seat, fixed conventional gear airplane which entered production in the United States in 1964. Since it is the lift over drag (L/D) ratio that determines the gliding range, weight will not affect it. The prototype had an open cockpit for a single pilot, but the design allowed for conversion to a two seat layout. Champion introduced the 7GCBC in 1965. Discussion in 'Flight Following' started by Morne, Dec 21, 2011. average spam cans seem to be right around 8 or 9:1. The heavier the aircraft is, the higher the airspeed must be to obtain the same glide ratio. Its name spelled backwards is, "airbatic". The major improvement in Bellanca's introduction of the Super Decathlon was the change of engine to the Lycoming AEIO-360-H1A or H1B, both of 180 horsepower (130kW), which was accompanied by a selection of constant speed propellers. You would have to have a different attitude (sight picture) to achieve this. The math looks like this: 9114.18 ft /1000 ft = 9.11418. Holy Smokes thats a good question! Your glide ratio needs to be determined empirically. To BART, Jan 10, 2015: Champion introduced the 7KCAB in 1968. Probably closer than you think. The POH only gives the best glide distance in the clean condition. (Best L/D ratio = best glide ratio) thus if youre flying in a heavier aircraft of the same type and same air density ect ect. Coming from the automotive world, I'm grew up around Chevy 350's and today's engines. ItemID: 19782. The Micro Citabria box - look on the end panel to see what color plane is inside. In this example, the glide ratio provided in the POH comes out . I guess for the glide ratio, Ill just have to go experiment to see what that is. While the Citabria designs remain successful, and the introduction of the 7KCAB variant of the Citabria had added limited inverted flight capability, the Citabrias are not capable of "outside" maneuvers, those requiring significant negative-g loads. In addition, metal ribs were nailed to spars, but the nails would pull out. The major difference was in the engine, which in the 7GCAA was a Lycoming O-320-A2B of 150 horsepower (110kW). Brian; Not airspeed Joe, Angle of Attack. Slow flight was performed at 35 to 40 knots with flaps down. I can fly 40% over gross weight and go just as far as the lightest of the same design! Funny that's just what proud owner Charlie Davis does, although he is more careful when crossing runways and less disposed to headlong leaps. This is a question I was asked a few days ago, and I cant find the correct answer. Like the one I just got from Javier who writes asking: Two airplanes are flying at the same altitude, the same day, same conditios, except airplane A is much heavier than airplane B. Do you disagree? that specific attitude. Flight planning or any other aircraft operations should only be done using official technical information provided In 1967, Champion switched to spring steel main gear legs; by then, the Lycoming engine had become the standard. 3, 2005.) We purchased it from Doug Cline in 2019. Im yet to see a gyro with a better G R than a rock. glide path is not the same as attitude / angle of attack (AoA). N7519F, Tow: PiperPA-25-235 PawneeTail #: Citabria "A" package The Citabria is a light single-engine, two-seat, fixed conventional gear airplane which entered The model 7ECA Citabria entered production at Champion in 1964. SA261AL Installation of Airglas Model L2000 and L-1650 wheel replacement skis. ? - MOUNT ENGINE SET OF 4. Best angle is listed as 70. Well I stuck my neck out on this one. The glide ratio is based only on the relationship of the aerodynamic forces acting on the aircraft. The airplane is approved for day and night VFR operations when equipped in accordance with F.A.R. Airspeed-65 MPH recommended (60 MPH minimum) 2. Racing across the active runway at Warrenton-Fauquier (Virginia) Airport, the airport kitten leaped into the cockpit of American Champion Aircraft's new Citabria Explorer 7GCBC to play. 5. THAT ANGLE OF ATTACK IS THE CORRECT ANGLE FOR THAT PLANES BEST GLIDE SPEED REGARDLESS OF THE PLANES WEIGHT BECAUSE WEIGHT IS NOT A FACTOR IN GLIDING BECAUSE THE AIRPLANE IS PERFECTLY BOUYANT. Fuel quantity is registered by two direct reading float type gauges, one for each tank. 32032 Washington Ave. Burlington, WI United States 53105. All you have to know beforehand is your glide ratio (say 8:1) and your indicated airspeed. The outer shape of the fuselage is created by a combination of wooden formers and longerons, covered with fabric. Description: The PA-25 Pawnee was an agricultural aircraft produced by Piper Aircraft between 1959 and 1981. All of the variants are discussed in more detail below. So if I were at 10000 feet and lost all my engines, I could expect to glide about 30 miles. (You must log in or sign up to reply here. Try this Aviation Glide Calculator. The cross-section of the metal fuselage truss is triangular, a design feature which can be traced back to the earliest Aeronca C-2 design of the late 1920s. Why? 45 and 45 is what I was told. air . Notice, there is no weight given here. glide path. SECOND THE SPEED VARIABLE: I know the AOA did not change. The main gear legs of most Citabrias are made of spring steel, though American Champion began to use aluminum gear legs in 2004. Disclaimer: Information on this site may not be accurate or current and is not valid for flight planning or any other aircraft operations. L=cL(1/2 x Rho x v2) S. Higher weight requires higher lift. Now the plane has a faster groundspeed and with the nose down more, its also descending faster. Garmin GTX 327 transponder, Garmin GNC 300XL (GPS/COMM), Vortex Generators, and more. The wood winged 7GCBC weight go up to 1800lbs on edo 2000 floats. To Mark, JAN 10, 2013: Decathlons and Super Decathlons remain popular as aerobatic trainers, as beginning and intermediate aerobatic aircraft, and as personal aircraft. A C172 w 9.5/1 glide ratio (L/D) has a 6.01 deg. When American Champion reintroduced the 7ECA in 1995 as the Citabria "Aurora, " the biggest change was the use of metal-spar wings; the most recent significant design change has been the switch to aluminum main gear legs in 2004. Aerobatic maneuvers for which the Citabria is approved include the chandelle, lazy eight, barrel or slow roll, Immelmann, loop, split S, snap roll, hammerhead turn, Cuban eight, and spin. Official Burn Certificates. (And in case you have forgotten where the name Citabria came from, spell the headline backward.). Also, there is no thrust to move the aircraft. Turns out he was a glider pilot, which we're sure helped immensely confidence-wise. Most Citabrias were built with wooden spars. Instead of best glide SPEED, memorize best glide ATTITUDE. N20737, Glider: HoltzMach 0.1 SimulatorTail #: (The Citabria was certified under older CAR 4a regulations, when a more extensive flight manual was not required.) JetPhotos.com is the biggest database of aviation photographs with over 5 million screened photos online! Bellanca Citabria 7ECA Technical Specifications Exterior Exterior Height: 7 ft 7 in Wing Span: 33 ft 6 in Length: 22 ft 1 in Interior Cabin Height: 3 ft 11 In Cabin Width: 2 ft 6 In Cabin Length: 8 ft 10 In Occupancy Crew: 1 Passengers: 2 Operating Weights Max T/O Weight: 1650 Lb Empty Weight: 1060 Lb Fuel Capacity: 35 gal Lb Payload Useful: 590 Lb The magneto, master, and other switches are, like the older models, rather inconveniently located behind the pilot's left shoulder. PN: 1-2550 Alt_PN: AN6-25. This beautiful high-performance single-seat sailplane has excellent handling and benign stalling characteristics. Hummmso short time for the heavier airplane means faster airspeed, faster mean lower angle of attack compare with the slow airplane So how come diferent angles of attack draw the same hipotenusa, if you see this in a form of triangle depicted.? I am not an expert but it would seem to me that the wing doesnt care how much weight it is supporting; it will still fly most efficient at the same airspeed.. The strut-braced wings of the Decathlon are, like the fuselage and tail surfaces, fabric covered, using aluminum ribs. Ours had all spraying equipment removed. By continuing to use this website, you are agreeing to our Cookie Policy. Pilots wanted an aircraft capable of more maneuvers, and Champion introduced the 8KCAB Decathlon in response to this demand. American Champion's 7GCBC, reintroduced in 1994 as the Citabria "Explorer," is similar to earlier versions, with the exception of the metal-spar wings and the use of the Lycoming O-320-B2B of 160 horsepower (120kW); the most recent significant design change has been the switch to aluminum main gear legs in 2004. I'll do a few 200' AGL power idles and see how far I can reach, multiple times from the same spot above the ground You must log in or register to reply here. For airplanes with the same aerodynamic characteristics, no wind, starting at the same altitude, and both of them flying at their corresponding speed to achieve max L/D. FIRST THE WEIGHT VARIABLE: I know the disruption of equilibrium due to the added weight was in effect neutralized, cancelled out by the lift forces created by the speed increase. Early Citabrias were fitted with a steel tube main gear which uses an oleo strut for shock absorption. Department of Transportation. Someone on the internet gave a Vbg of 135MPH for a total glide time of 60 * (6/135) = 2 minutes 40 . Power Plant: Lycoming O-320-B2B. And possibly the worst braking system known to man; Van Sickle drums and a single handbrake. It is applicable to Serial Numbers 1240-98 and up. Description: The Schweizer SGS 2-33 is an American two-seat, high-wing, strut-braced, training glider that was built by Schweizer Aircraft of Elmira, New York until the late 1980s, the 2-33 was the main training glider used in North America. Prop stopped, which helped the glide ratio quite a bit. Maule Air Texas Inc. OR USA (214) 384-1858 . An aircraft is gliding in still air at an IAS to give the angle of attack for best L/D ratio. (Jun. No answer. It was substantially similar to the 7GCAA of the same year, with a Lycoming O-320-A2B engine of 150 horsepower (110kW), wood-spar wings, and spring steel main gear legs. Airplanes fly on excess power, not grace, not engineering. When introduced, it featured wood-spar wings and oleo-shock main gear. (You must log in or sign up to reply here. Flaps-LOWER AS NEEDED in increase approach descent angle (7GCBC) NOTE Slipping the aircraft by cross controlling the rudder and ailerons will increase the rate of descent both with or without flaps. Some will find it easier to use a different calculation. Parts listed on this page are from a salvaged 1970 Champion 7ECA Citabria. The literature refers to a specific angle of attack, for best glide but how does one know the exact angle of attack, really ? Perfect equilibrium. Bellanca continued production of the 7KCAB as the Citabria "B" Package (a designation apparently begun by Champion). Dec 19 2022. Probably closer than you think. Propelle: Sensenich 74DM6S8-1. He must have come up short :wink2: One thing for sure, if Dianna had started gliding downhill when this thread was first started, she'd definitely be on the ground by now no matter what she used for best glide. N3822A, Glider: SchweizerSGS 2-33ATail #: The extra weight is balanced by the extra lift The Citabria designs passed through the hands of a number of companies through the 1980s, including a Champion Aircraft Company which was no relation to the Champion Aircraft of the 1960s. Can you or anyone judge 6.01 deg glide path (not angle of attack) Throttle - CLOSED when in gliding distance or runway 3. 4. The 180-hp Decathlon, already in production at American Champion, is the company's biggest seller accounting for 16 of the 18 sales made so far this year (see " The New Champion," October 1991 Pilot). Aircraft specification no. $85,500 Reg# N8552V TT: 2408; Performance Specs. It is our mission to be the go to leaders in the aviation industry. IF IM WRONG SOMEBODY OUT THERE PLEASE SET ME STRAIGHT. The L/D ratio and the glide ratio are always equal in steady-state linear unpowered flight in still air, but they are not equal if there is some thrust from a motor. The winds would have to be factored in as well. However, the floating problem didn't seem serious during the three approaches I made: The first, with no previous experience in the aircraft, took 1,500 feet, but the last was accomplished in less than 1,000 feet not that far off the factory claim of 740 feet over a 50-foot obstacle. One of the major developments of the 8KCAB Decathlon over the 7KCAB Citabria is the Decathlon's wing, which employs a semi-symmetrical airfoil, as opposed to the Citabria's flat-bottomed airfoil. Any rule that states an airplane has to be operated within CG limitations? At a critical point angle of attack, the aircraft can maintain altitude only by increasing power and is said to be behind the power curve. They have effect on the speed to fly to get that best glide (longest distance). Demonstrated Crosswind Component: 17 kts. Citabrias were also popular as trainersbecause of their conventional gear and their aerobatic capabilitiesand as personal aircraft. Therefore the aircraft flying the closest to its max weight would be the closest to the max L/D therefore having a slower sink rate and longer distance. You will divide the run by the rise. Aircraft Serial Number1335-2002. With 5,000 extra lbs in most GA aircraft youd be well above stall speed, which would make you glide at least as well as a rock. The following formula is used: = S / H where: = Glide Ratio S = distance of forward travel hotrod180 offline. RV General Discussion/News The extra power afforded by the larger Lycoming shows up mostly in greater climb rates, rather than flat-out cruising speed. In 1970, Champion was acquired by Bellanca Aircraft Corporation, which continued production of all of the Champion-designed variants. Left & Right Wing LED Lighting (with Flood & Wig-Wig). Minimum sink is always slower than best glide, because it's the point on the power required curve where the least amount of power is required. When introduced, it featured wood-spar wings and oleo-shock main gear. Airplanes fly on excess power, not grace, not engineering. The engine was replaced with a Lycoming IO-320-E2A of 150 horsepower (110kW), while a header tank of 1.5 gallonslocated beneath the instrument panelwas added to the fuel system. It remains a widely used aircraft in agricultural spraying and is also used as a tow plane, or tug, for launching gliders or for towing banners. One of my favorite civilian birds of all time.classic looks, faster than it should be and the glide ratio of a greased anvil. Is posible descent the same distance from the same altitude and land at the same point with diferent angles? i dont see it. Anyway, best glide is usually very close to Vy, since both speeds are close to the max L/D ratio for that airplane. The extra energy from the weight does nothing to the drag. Bellanca introduced two designs with close connections to the Citabria: The 8KCAB Decathlon and the 8GCBC Scout. (Use your L/D max speed). You require to fly at a higher IAS to maintain best L/D ratio therefor if you have increased your speed to maintain best L/D ratio (best glide ratio) you will remain on the same flight path as a lighter aircraft at a higher IAS and lower angle of attack. Variations in aircraft weight do not affect the glide angle . Glide ratio is defined as the ratio between altitude when it start gliding (Y-axis) to the distance it can reach until the altitude reach zero (X-axis), as shown in the picture 2. Minimum sink is not usually published (except for gliders) but it's easy enough to figure out with the VSI, and it is always slower than best glide ratio. However if you fly both airplanes, not at their respective L/D, but at the same fixed speed (as it is suggested in most POH, there is a best glide speed) than the maths are different. How far they go forward versus how much they drop is the glide ratio. American Champion's 7GCAA, reintroduced in 1997 as the Citabria "Adventure," is similar to earlier versions, with the exception of the metal-spar wings and the use of the Lycoming O-320-B2B engine of 160 horsepower (120kW); the most recent significant design change has been the switch to aluminum main gear legs in 2004. TO OUR GLIDE RATIO (AND ITS RESULTANT GLIDE SLOPE)? I asked Charlie if I could come back just to play. This glider was rebuilt by Chuck Zabinski and Jake Smith. Useful Load: 550 lbs. I would really appreciate if you could help me out. Like the Citabria, the Decathlon features tandem seating and center-stick controls. I am all about learning so help me out here. Sure, but I sense that a 172 and a Mooney 231 have rather different numbers. Take a scenic flight to a favorite restaurant with a "greenhouse" view from the front cockpit (especially if it has the $500 sunroof option), and have an aileron roll along the way as an appetizer. Introduced in 1964, the 7ECA was the first version of the design and utilized the Continental O-200-A engine of 100 horsepower (75 kW). So tell me (Jim and Paul) what is the AoA for my Citabria or C172 ? American Champion Aircraft Corporation acquired the Decathlon design, along with the 8GCBC Scout and the group of Citabria and Champ variants, in 1990, bringing the Super Decathlon version back into production that same year. You know most wings will stall at 18-20 deg of inclination but how do you know the correct angle of attack for the wing on your aircraft for best glide ? You can see the image damage at the end of the video. Bellanca built over 600 of the 8KCAB design before production of the aircraft was interrupted when the company's assets were liquidated in 1981. The engine is a Lycoming Model O-235-K2C and is rated at 118 horsepower. American Champion Citabria 7ECA Technical Specifications Exterior Exterior Height: 7 ft 7 in Wing Span: 33 ft 6 in Length: 22 ft 1 in Interior Cabin Height: 3 ft 11 In Cabin Width: 2 ft 6 In Cabin Length: 8 ft 10 In Occupancy Crew: 1 Passengers: 2 Operating Weights Max T/O Weight: 1750 Lb Empty Weight: 1120 Lb Fuel Capacity: 35 Lb Memorize best glide SPEED, memorize best glide is usually very close to the max L/D ratio for airplane... 300Xl ( GPS/COMM ), Vortex Generators, and Champion introduced the 8KCAB Decathlon and the glide ratio L/D!
