AIRFRAME
2.2. FUSELAGE
The P2010 fuselage is mainly made by carbon fibres composite materials.
The fuselage is made by two main shells that are later assembled bonding the two main bod-
ies and the floor (composite) and adding aluminium parts that allow the connection of the
main landing gear, seats, wing and instrument panel.
Fuselage and vertical fin are thus a unique body.
2.3. EMPENNAGES
2.3.1. HORIZONTAL TAIL
The horizontal tail is an all-moving type; the stabilizer and elevator form a single uniform
plane called stabilator that rotates to the desired pitch setting.
The stabilator structure (see Figure 7-2) is made-up by two aluminium spar and ribs.
Aluminium skin panels are riveted to the above elements.
A trim tab provides stick force adjustment and longitudinal compensation through a control
wheel located between pilot and co-pilot seats.
