9.6-7 AIRPLANE AND SYSTEMS DESCRIPTIONS
The ECC, with a 63-cubic-foot area and a 750 pound capacity, may be
installed on KODIAK
®
100 airplanes. The ECC is constructed of two pieces –
the nose fairing and the main pod – which are separated by a stainless steel
rewall.
The ECC and its doors have a foam composite core, strips of a nonwoven
metallic lightning and shielding mesh, a layer of ground plane mesh, and an
outer layer of berglass.
Two bulkheads divide the pod into three compartments. Each compartment
may be accessed through a separate door located in the left side of the pod.
Ventral ns, strakes, and aerodynamic fences are installed to provide
additional stability about the yaw axis. A fuel drain system enables exterior
access to the fuel drain lines.
