Title:

HANSA - NG Aircraft

Value Proposition:

Hansa - is India’s first all-composite light aircraft designed & developed by CSIR-NAL in the CS-VLA category, ideally suited for ab-initio flying training, sport and hobby flying.
Hansa - NG is a two seater, low wing aircraft, low noise emission and option to use both MOGAS and AVGAS allows for more flexible and economical operations meeting
IFR certification.

All glass cockpit with cabin comfort and good ergonomics Easy to fly with good handling qualities & low operation and maintenance cost. Hansa-NG would be affordable and appreciable single engine aircraft.

Hansa-NG is powered with Rotax 912 iSc 3 sport engine. The 4-cylinder, 4-stroke liquid/air cooled engine runs on AVGAS 100 LL (ASTM D910) / MOGAS EN 228 Super/ Super Plus or equivalent fuel (INDIAN standard IS 2796:2008). Provides maximum power of 100 hp @ 5800 rpm for 5 min duration and maximum continuous power of 98 hp @ 5500 rpm. 

Summary Application:

Improved Airframe: Better alternate composite materials with cost effective just in-time prepreg manufacturing process

Improved Ingress / Egress: Bubble canopy opening towards front to improve the ingress / egress. 

Crew Baggage: A separate baggage compartments behind the seats for long range operations. 

Modern Avionics: Full glass cockpit, Aspen EFD 1000 pro PFD, EMU, Avidyne NAV/COM/GPS, AMU, Transponder, secondary COM. Better cockpit aesthetics & ergonomics

Improvements in Configuration: Redesigned engine cowl for minimum drag, landing gear wheel fairing and optimized MLG-fuselage interface fairing

Steerable Nose Wheel: Oleo-pneumatic type steerable nose landing gear for better control

Advanced Propulsion: Advanced 100 hp Rotax 912 iSc sport engine with better SFC and runs on both MOGAS / AVGAS

Low aquisition & operating cost: Low acquisition & operating cost is the moto of Hansa -NG. It is one of the best in class in terms of acquisition cost , operating cost, fuel efficiency.
