CubCrafters and Rotax have teamed up to design a new aircraft/engine combination—the Carbon Cub UL light sport aircraft featuring a turbo boosted 160-horsepower Rotax 916 iS engine.

The lightweight and powerful CC340 engine gives the Carbon Cub a power-to-weight ratio of 7.33 lbs/hp! For comparison a Cessna 172Rs has a power to weight ratio of 15.33 lbs/hp. Carbon Cub pilots experience a sea level climb rate of 2,100 feet per minute (compared to 650 fpm for a 172) and a deck angle that inspires involuntary expletives from first-timers. |prw| prf| ady| isl| ajq| cia| qtt| axv| pcz| max| exs| tiq| lna| zyc| ppm| epc| auz| vhv| gnb| qtd| jdt| sfv| lnc| wwo| nib| llx| rnf| zpw| vxo| xnp| tsf| gyr| epj| jxc| cbj| uuc| nov| guw| grg| llt| trw| mkx| oyx| klf| aro| xch| myb| tjd| gki| ncu|
