high-performance aircraft with safe flight behavior and reliable structure
The Texan GF10/30 was developed as a solution for pilots and instructors needing a durable, safe flight behavior and reliable structure aircraft with modern flight behavior and dependable structure. It brings together balance, control, and responsiveness, offering a light aviation experience that works in actual missions—not just on paper.
1. Wing & Aerodynamics
The aircraft’s wing is built around a laminar flow airfoil, optimized for both lift and control at low speeds. It features differential ailerons and plain electric flaps, supporting easy and stable approaches, gentle stall behavior, and a predictable envelope ideal for learning and precision flying alike.
2. Construction & Systems
Made from laminate and honeycomb sandwich composite, the structure is light yet rigid, reducing fatigue over time. The landing gear includes dampened nose and main wheels, increasing safety during taxiing, takeoff, and landing—especially on less-than-ideal surfaces.
3. Powerplant & Propeller
Powered by the 100 HP Rotax 912 ULS or iS engine, the GF10/30 features a 2-blade Idrovario propeller with in-flight variable pitch, allowing the pilot to optimize thrust and economy mid-flight.
4. Cabin & Range
Fuel tanks are wing-integrated with 130 L total capacity, giving the aircraft a 1,000 km range plus 30 minutes reserve. The cockpit supports long-range travel in comfort, with a focus on visibility and spatial efficiency.
