Canopy
A one-piece cockpit canopy consists of a carbon fibre frame with a
Plexiglas windscreen. The canopy is supported by gas strut and
hinged on the right side (starboard) by two hinges. The canopy is
locked from inside by a single point lock system, accessible by both
pilots.
Engine cowling
The cngine cowling is fixed to the fuselage by cam-locs. The lower
cowling has large NACA air intake, with adjustable flap, for cooling
the water and oil radiators. An adjustable flap is used during low
speeds and taxiing. The top cowling has a small air intakes for
direct cylinder cooling on both sides of the spinner. Air from
engine compartment is exhausted through gills placed on the sides.
Top cowling has a door for the oil check, which can also serve as an
air exhaust hole on hot environments by leaving it open in flight.
A slot for movable ballast is positioned on the top cowling.
Wing
The Shark 600 has a composite wing with trapezoidal root, and
elliptically shaped tip. Wing planform and airfoil is optimized for
fast cross-country flights.
The wing structure consists of a carbon-fibre/epoxy monocoque,
with a PVC foam sandwich. The Carbon-fibre main spar is placed at
25% of the chord and the rear spar carries the flap levers and
aileron hinges. 60% of the trailing edge is equipped by very
efficient single-slotted flaps.
