Section 7 – Airframe and Systems description
AIRFRAME
2.2. FUSELAGE
The fuselage is constituted by a light-alloy semi-monocoque structure wrapped-
around by stressed skin panels. Radome and stern fairing are of composite materi-
al. Cabin and baggage compartment floor is a warping of beams and keelsons sup-
porting the seats guides and other components.
Two spar frames support on the top the wings attachments and on the bottom the
sponson beans sustaining the main landing gear. The forward frame, to which ra-
dome is connected, supports a steel trestle to which the nose landing gear is con-
nected.
The front and rear seats access occur by means of two doors located in the oppo-
site sides of the fuselage; a ditching emergency exit is available on the top of the
cabin. In tail cone, two spar frames support the horizontal and vertical empennag-
es attachments.
