ICON A5
ICON A5 Amphibious Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) (1:1 Scale)
This is my first attempt to make a seaplane but I noticed that water density in Stormworks is far lower than real world. OR, components are 10 times higher than real world counterparts on average. Interior is also not watertight. Nevertheless I decided to complete it as a landplane.
Features
– Not amphibious due to its very small size
– Folding wings and landing gear
– GPS Autopilot
– Altitude Hold
– Half hour flight time
– Heater, first person equipments

Crew : One pilot Capacity : One passenger Fuel capacity : 187 L diesel (18.7 mass) Empty weight : 675 mass Gross weight : 700 mass Wing area* : 115 r.s.a Wing loading : 6.1 mass/r.s.a Length : 7.00 m Wingspan : 10.50 m Height : 2.50 m Powerplant : Small Diesel Engine (up to 600 RPM) Maximum speed : 127 knots Cruise speed : 104 knots (throttle: 0.80) Range : 230 km with cruise speed * Wing area is rudder_surface_area (r.s.a) of total horizontal wings and control surfaces data in ..Stormworksromdatadefinitions. Sub-grid wings contribute less.
