In-house Research, Design and Manufacturing

Basic Description

The PS-28N Cruiser is next in line significantly upgraded version of the well-established original PS-28 Cruiser aircraft. Based on the experience from operational fleet of almost 700 aircraft upgrades on PS-28N Cruiser presents enhancement of its operation capabilities by VFR Night, makes the operation more comfortable, maintenance even less demanding and operation less expensive. PS-28N Cruiser presents the ideal solution for needs of flight training organisations worldwide.

PS-28N Cruiser double-seat, metal aircraft, arranged as a low-wing monoplane with cantilevered wings and conventional empennage with better engine cooling performance.

The aircraft has a tricycle fixed landing gear of nose type.

The PS-28N Cruiser is type certified by EASA for VFR Day & Night operations according to EASA CS-LSA regulation.

Thanks to its smart design and all metal structure the fatigue tests approved its total airframe life to 11 000 flight hours. The combination of long durability, low maintenance and operational costs, comfortable and spacious cockpit, superb flight characteristic represent an ideal solution for Flight Clubs and Flight Training Organizations.

Wing

The wings are of all-metal main spar structure with a rear spar. Each of the two wings is attached to the center section fuselage by means of 6 shear bolts. Fuel tank is located in each wing with a capacity of 57 liters. Unique lockable storage compartment is located in each wing with a load capacity of 10kg each.

The wing tips are made from carbon-glass composite. Both wings are equipped with electrically controlled flaps and ailerons. The right aileron is fitted also with electrical trim. Position, strobe lights and landing lights are installed in the wings.

Tailplane

The aircraft tail unit consists of the vertical fin, the rudder, the horizontal stabilizer and the elevator with trim tabs. The elevator is well balanced by the electrically controlled trim of the elevator. The elevator is equipped also with a balance tab for aircraft better controllability and balance of the control forces.

Fuselage

The fuselage is designed as a semi monocoque conventional all-metal structure. The cockpit fixed frame and the movable frame are made from a composite. The main undercarriage is attached directly to the bottom part of the fuselage. The nose landing gear is attached to the firewall.

Cockpit

The PS-28N Cruiser boasts the most spacious and ergonomic cockpit in the Light Sport Aircraft category. The cockpit has front-up-opened cover and two side sliding windows. All windows are made from Plexiglass. Located to the rear of the pilot seats is a spacious baggage compartment.

The cockpit is equipped with an instrument panel holding all instruments in 3 separate panels. Individual control sticks and adjustable pedals provide the flight controls for both seats. The throttle is positioned on the centre console and the wheel brakes are located on the pedals. PTT & Trim settings are located on a control stick. PS-28N Cruiser has also new Electronic flap controller.

Safety

Safe and Sound in the Air

Thanks to the all-metal structure, selected materials and modern processes involved in its production, the PS-28N is a solid, safe and reliable machine, well-suited for years of intense use. It is designed to be flown frequently and actively, so that you can focus on flying, rather than on keeping your airplane in shape.
