Global Deployability

GO ANYWHERE

The aircraft has superior rough field characteristics, being able to operate from austere un-paved landing zones - a result of its propriety retractable trailing link landing gear, high wing and pusher-prop configuration. Cockpit visibility enables complex ground manoeuvres in constrained environments.
