World's Shortest Runway: Extreme Short Take-Off and Landing

  • Опубликовано: 17 июн 2015
  • Here's why you don't need a long runway!
    Expert demonstration of the outstanding capabilities of the Zenith STOL CH 701 "Sky Jeep" light sport utility kit airplane from Zenith Aircraft Company: www.zenithair.com
    First introduced in 1986, the STOL CH 701 aircraft was developed as an “off-airport” short take-off and landing kit aircraft to fulfill the demanding requirements of both sport pilots and first-time builders. With the STOL CH 701, designer Chris Heintz combined the features and advantages of a “real” airplane with the short-field capabilities of an “ultralight” aircraft. The aircraft features fixed leading-edge slats for high lift, full-span flaperons (both ailerons and flaps), an all-flying rudder, and durable all-metal construction.
    While the basic design has remained the same, many significant improvements have been introduced over the years, including a higher useful load, easier and quicker build kits, and more detailed drawings and step-by-step assembly instructions.
    Short-field performance is where the STOL CH 701 aircraft truly excels: It is airborne in less than 120 feet of unprepared grass, or 90 feet of hard surface, at gross weight. Rotation is possible by the time full throttle setting is applied, and lift-off can begin at 25 mph (in ground effect, with no wind) - all within less than four seconds from stand still. Of course, any headwind shortens the time and distance required for take off.
    The STOL CH 701 was not designed to be just another ‘pretty’ light aircraft, but was engineered to offer outstanding short take-off and landing performance, all-metal durability, and unparalleled ease of construction. With form following function, the STOL CH 701 looks like a ‘Sky Jeep’, as it is often called by its owners.
    Popular since 1986, there are hundreds of STOL CH 701 aircraft flying around the world! Not many of the more than 500 STOL CH 701’s flying today can be found at airports - most are operated from short off-airport grass fields, in backyard fields and in remote areas. The aircraft’s all-metal construction makes it suitable for continuous outdoor storage - providing their owners with continuous cost savings (no hanger or tie-down fees).
    The STOL CH 701 offers comfortable two-place side-by-side seating in an ergonomically designed 40-inch wide cabin. The cabin interior is designed to provide comfort for two adults. Large doors on either side allow easy access to the cabin from both sides, and can be quickly removed.
    A new optional single-piece formed acrylic bubble door is available to maximize cabin width. The door is hinged at the top and each door is domed 3 1/4″ (82 mm.) to provide maximum additional cabin space. The full bubble door provides outstanding side and downward visibility. The door is fitted with the standard locking door latch (at bottom front of each door).
    Better Visibility and More Cabin Width: The cabin is fitted with a large instrument panel and dual controls accessible from both the left and right seats. The center-mounted control column (stick) can easily be used from either side, and does not limit visibility of the instrument panel. Dual throttle controls are mounted on both sides of the panel for easy access. The panel measures about 34 inches across by 8.5 inches tall in the center to allow for custom avionics installations.
    The dual rudder pedals also steer the nose-wheel, and are equipped with standard hydraulic toe-brakes on the pilot’s side. The baggage area is located directly behind the seats for easy access.
    The standard tricycle gear configuration maximizes forward visibility when taxiing, while also providing the added benefit of a level cabin while on the ground, to facilitate access to the cabin and to maximize pilot and passenger comfort.
    Unlike other high-wing designs, the STOL CH 701’s wings are positioned above the cabin and fuselage to provide pilot and passengers with superior visibility. The “Above-Cab” wings taper at the wing root to maximize upward visibility while also providing superior side visibility, as the wings are located above the pilot’s head.
    As all seasoned bush pilots will confirm, off-airport operations require an aircraft with superior visibility - for operations in tight areas and to allow the pilot to choose suitable landing areas. The large “wrap-around” windows and “Above-Cab” wings allow unparalleled visibility. The tricycle gear configuration also allows excellent forward visibility while on the ground - crucial when operated in off-airport fields.

    Years ago I was at a small airport in Utah, when the winds really picked up. My partner and I went out to make sure the tie downs on our 500 were cinched tight and as we walked out to the ramp, I noticed a Piper Cub with tundra tires just over the fence flying directly into the wind, as I knelt down to check the tension on the skids, I looked back over my shoulder and the Piper Cub looked like he was in almost the same position. The Cub pilot landed with almost zero forward airspeed, he then crab taxied across the infield to get behind a hanger before shutting off the engine. We later talked to the pilot and he said he'd been on power line patrol and his approach and final were dead into the wind. As the wind speed increased he was full throttle on his final and at 500 feet AGL. was pretty sure at times he wasn't moving forward at all.

    The wings, the fuselage, the propeller...no problem. The main thing you had to be careful about was how many twists you put in the rubber band.

      Glen, I worked for them for a short while during the time they were building the first CH701. Chris test flew it and didn't even let they guys that built it watch the maiden flight. I was working on the CH22 I think it was. We were going to set up and produce the plane in Cape Girardeau, Missouri. Somehow that plan got thwarted and they moved to a gawd awful, gnat infested place in Georgia. I think that plan went down the crapper too as they didn't produce any planes that I know of.

    Reminds me of an incident I saw with my very own eyes nearly 40 years ago. I was a member of a gliding club in Australia back then, and one Saturday evening after operations had finished for the day and before the beer started to flow, our two tug pilots on duty for the day bet each other who could use the Piper Pawnee for the shortest take-off. Starting point was the fence-line near the wind-sock, really an across runway take-off, about 30 yards back then, well the first off really gunned the engine, full flaps hard elevator after take off, and was off, he really climbed out hard, and was over the Wireless Mast on the Gliding club roof, a height of 150 feet above the roof, but he must have had at least another 100 feet over that mast. In all the distance would have been about 300 yards from take off to that point, truly a nice piece of flying anywhere in my book. I don't think the second guy thought it was possible, 'cause he never tried it.

    Most people are pleased if they can land ON the numbers. This machine can land IN the numbers. (I've been in one, though we didn't land quite that short.)
    The disadvantage is that, if you get used to that kind of performance, you may expect other aircraft to behave the same way, and that can kill you.

    Great flying.
    Irritating sound track. when will aviation video producers realize almost nobody wants to listen to cheezy music? We'd almost all prefer engine sounds with insightful, relevant commentary from actual aviators. Exciting music is just a distraction. It doesn't make anybody excited about flying; we're excited about flying because we're pilots. the music just gets in the way.

      AmericanFartBully It's not the style of music that's bad, it's that they have music at all (instead of airplane sounds preferably with a voiceover talking about something aeronautical: performance specs, construction methods, maneuvering, engine managment, etc.).
      When will sellers understand 'exciting' music is not necessary, in fact it only gets in the way. Pilots are already excited about flying, they don't need any music, cheesy or otherwise, to get excited about flying.
      It's just basic salesmanship: sell the sizzle, not the steak. STOP THE MUSIC IN AIRPLANE VIDEOS ! We want AERONAUTICS, not NOT N O T MUSIC ! !

    I like this video, but I want _more_ information. What does the runway length have to be if you're at gross? Minimum weight configurations for demonstration purposes are fine, but how about a real-world use case?
