Elegance in the air
The original text from the report on the flight tests describes an aircraft that was exceptionally easy to control:
Quote:
"The evaluation by the pilots was more favourable than expected. The large manoeuvrability, rapid and precise effectiveness of the controls with light and well-balanced control forces were highlighted. Aerobatic manoeuvres could be performed effortlessly and precisely. Take-offs and landings were carried out without any particular difficulties."
Testing the Legend
Can the stability and controllability standards of the past still meet today’s requirements? And is the Arbalète truly as exceptional as the test pilots once claimed?
To answer these questions, the aircraft must take to the skies once again. A precise, professionally conducted flight test programme is essential – one where we can rely on the collective expertise of renowned test pilots.
We are eager to see the results.
