    As stated earlier, no FADEC for the Cirrus as it has a “cam” that throttle and prop are controlled through with the throttle movement. Basically the prop has two adjustments throughout the throw of the throttle. Love the videos, I always walk away smarter because of them.

    @corvuscanis 10 месяцев назад +1

    Is there a production number somewhere on the plane? I remember working at Lancair and we got a bonus for finishing plane number 100 before a deadline. As I recall the parachute was tested, it deployed and worked but the cable didn't cut and release afterwards resulting in a crash. I remember the fuselage was designed and tested to survive a 90 mph nosedive into the ground. The plane people took out for test flights was cursed, people testing before a purchase have taken out a few fuel trucks and clipped buildings with the wings while taxiing. The test pilot would fly to Seattle once or twice a month and we could order Krispy Kream doughnuts that arrived still fresh. So many memories, good times.

  • @MikeKobb
    @MikeKobb 5 месяцев назад +1

    One interesting difference between this plane and the Cirrus is that the Cirrus is not technically a gull-wing door. It has what's sometimes called a "butterfly door" like a McLaren or certain other sports cars -- the hinges are roughly at either end of the A pillar. So, the doors open both up *and* forward. The nice thing about the Cirrus design is if they were to come unlatched in flight, they will be held mostly closed by the slipstream. On the Lancair/Cessna doors, if they open in flight, the door will fly open and can be ripped completely off of the airframe. This has actually happened. The Cirrus door will end up open maybe an inch because there's a balance point between the Bernoulli effect trying to pull the door open and the slipstream pressure holding it closed, so it won't open fully, but you also can't re-close it in flight. It's not dangerous except as a distraction. It's fortunate that the Cirrus door is a bit more failsafe, because the G2 through 2015 G5 door latches really kinda suck and if they're out of adjustment they are hard to latch properly. The newer models have a much better positive latch.
    Regarding interior space -- as you said, the cabin is a bit smaller diameter in the Lancair/Cessna compared to the Cirrus, but the big difference is in legroom. The Lancair has much less legroom in the rear. I tried out a TTx and when I set the seat up comfortably for myself as a pilot, there wasn't enough room to sit behind. In the Cirrus, I can sit comfortably in the back even if the front seat is adjusted properly for me.
    One other little tidbit -- others have mentioned that the Cirrus is not FADEC (I wish it were!). It's also not single-lever. There's a power lever, which controls throttle and has a cam mechanism for the prop pitch. And then there's a separate conventional mixture control. Interesting note: on the SR-22T, they got rid of the cam and the constant-speed prop is simply set to 2500 RPM. The naturally aspirated models still have the cam.

    • @skywagonuniversity5023

      These hold 100 Gallons and the engine is a twin turbo IO-550 Continental. It burns about 18 gallons an hour and does about 180 Kts at 15000 feet. Big fast and comfortable. half the fuel burn and half the speed and you have a 172, so this is about the fuel burn of a 172 from A to B. Maybe a gallon more.

    Just learned this is a one piece wing (like a Mooney) so very strong. It's also got the fuel in between the two carbon spars (like a diamond) so very safe and post crash fire resistant. It's also a side stick vs a side yoke (cirrus) and pushrods (like a Mooney) vs sloppy cables (cirrus)

    Believe it or not, the Cirrus is not FADEC, all manual linkages that do the mixing of throttle and prop. That means all ‘cruise’ settings put you at a very loud 2500rpm. Airplanes like the Diamond with a diesel will be FADEC

      The parachute is very complex. It has four cables under the gelcoat that rip out so that the plane can hang from the spars flat after the rocket is fired through the roof to launch it. A Cirrus is totalled (written off) after a parachute use. I'd use it over trees but I think I try to land it in a field or on a road if I was over flat land.

      @@skywagonuniversity5023 Sorry. I'm bad about blurting out stuff. Got to fly a little evening/night IFR departure/VFR return cross country from Greensboro to Knoxville downtown island airport( which is just about the coolest airport you can fly into) in a nice, nearly new Cirrus (with ballistic chute). The owner and the airplane were both as slick as could be, but the controls kind of seemed asymmetrical somehow. It sure didn't seem to challenge my host at all. And boy, those planes are fast cross country, even when they're loafing.

    I’ll never understand why modern turbocharged aircraft engines are so delicate. People constantly make statements about thermal shocking the turbo, etc, etc. I hear it all the time. Meanwhile, I can jump into any old Saab 900 with over 100k miles on it and still beat the living crap out of it, and never have a single issue with it. In fact, most turbocharged cars can take a harsh beating; why can’t they aviation counterparts do the same? Has Honeywell/Garrett not come up with a more durable design?

      They are air cooled. Temp fluctuates with power a lot. Cars are water cooled and they have a narrower temp range. Also changing a design in aviation is years of work and millions of dollars and liability because it's "New."

    Well fact is, this is a great awesome performance airplane. When Cessna took over in 2008, from then on they made bad mistakes one after another. The management screwed up there big chances with full power into the ruins for this plane. That’s sad, because of all these stupid decisions. They had all chance, to equip this airplane with BRS either. There where already Tests with BRS for the 172 and as I believe for the 182 either. Back then they already decided not to do this. What is even more stupid is when the manufacturer Cirrus leads the way and Cessna arrogantly continues to sit on its high horse and just watches. For me an incompetent management. The company Cessna which have written history with decades of years of excellent aircraft in general aviation. Why did they buy Lanceair rights and designs of this plane? To screw it up? They had the reputation the money and know how to do everything right on this plane. Top avionics, nice leather interior, BRS and the label of Cessna. Cirrus was way back in disadvantages and they did it right, not being arrogant and listening to the wishes and needs of the customers. Often the wife goes into decisions to buy the family airplane. What will she choose? Of course the safety of the plane with BRS. Cirrus rightly won and got the market share and Cessna did everything wrong that could be done wrong. Where would the story be today with a TTX with BRS system? Sad story for this great awesome airplane.

      Poor? I have a TTx and the fixed gear is one reasons I bought it. Less maintenance and no chance of a gear failure. Also drastically cheaper to insure (like $10,000 a year less) than a similar Bonanza, I know I priced both before I bought. Twin carbon fiber wing spars, load tested to 26g's earned it a utility rating by the FAA. At an economy cruise it does 180 true burning 14gph at 10 to 12,000'. It will do 235 true at FL 250. It's a cross country machine, extraordinarily comfortable and very docile flying IFR. It flies beautifully, very benign stall characteristics and is totally recoverable from a spin so the FAA doesn't require the parachute, which costs $10,000 to repack every 10 years. The only issue I have is common to all composite aircraft, the lack of a ground plane in the fuselage makes long range comms a hair less reliable, but not dramatically so. I have issues on one local approach, which is horribly designed to make you change approach controllers at low altitude. I lose the second controller, which is actually much further away than the first, at about 2,000'. I have to switch to tower on my own, tower has been usually been informed I'm NORDO. I did have the same issue in my T182T, but I could get down to about 1,800' before I'd lose approach. The TTx is a bear to slow down, and it is insanely fast. If you don't stay on top of it you're doing 160 in the pattern quickly, he wasn't kidding about it not being a pattern airplane.
