MANX - Close Air Support Aircraft Preliminary Design

Abstract

The Manx is a twin engine, twin tailed, single seat close air support d sign proposal for the 1991 Team Student Design Competition. It blends advanced technologies into a lightweight, high performance design with the following features: High Survivability: Rugged, easily maintained, with night/adverse weather capability-it is well suited for remote site based operations. Highly Maneuverable: Negative static margin, forward swept wing, canard, and advanced avionics result in enhanced aircraft agility. Highly Versatile: Design flexibility allows the Manx to contribute to a truly integrated ground team capable of rapid deployment from forward sites.
