The
Aeroplane
Mark
Jefferies flies the German designed and built Extra
300S because power and performance are of paramount importance.
This single seat variant is one of only 31 sold worldwide,
and has even better performance than the more common
two seat variant – not least due to the consequent
saving in weight – this aircraft has staggering
power-to-weight performance.
The aeroplane is built specifically for
World class unlimited aerobatics,
with a wing designed to ultimately withstand a bone-crunching
+/- 25G, i.e. 25 times the force of gravity.
The airframe is constructed from steel tubing, carbon
fibre, wood and a carbon/Kevlar wing skin. The combination
of these high-tech materials combined with its weight
saving single seat configuration give this aeroplane
stunning performance. Roll rates exceed 360 degrees per
second, and speeds varying from 260 mph to, well backwards! |
