Description:SST stands for strutted or strut braced wing. With superior aerodynamics over conventional microlights with top rigging it also allows the aircraft to be stored in a much lower hanger. In fact, if the wing was lowered into the low hangar position it would need even less height than a small fixed wing aircraft.
The struts give the SST a more solid look and feel in the air. AirBorne's intention was to design a wing that handles extremely well in varying weather conditions and that has a 70 knot cruise speed. This has been achieved – the SST frame and sail feature the latest development in flexwing airframe and sail cloth technology. The images in the press gallery show how well the sail has been designed to sit on the frame in flight.
AirBorne improved leading edge definition with increased use of mylar to the undersurface. The leading edge round is cut into the sail to allow controlled washout at the tips. The airframe is state of the art with multi sleeved 6061 aluminium and CNC engineered fittings.
Trimmer control gives the pilot power assisted pitch through the control bar handle – turn the handle for slower or faster trim speeds.
AirBorne's SST wing is the hottest selling wing on the market right now for their XT-912 series aircraft. Right now (as of 5/1/2010) the list price for a delivered SST (with attachement kit) is $13,515. You can have this wing, with attachment kit, for $3000 below the current list price. But don't delay. At this price this wing will go fast.
This is a dealer demo aircraft with approximately 35 easy hours on it and in brand new condition. For more details see our Outlook XT-912 brochure.
