Germany's Grob dispatched the GF 200 four/five seater to offer a present day, elite option to the a large number of four/six seater business air ship being used around the world.
Grob's introductory outline points with the GF 200 were to make an agreeable and open pressurized four seater equipped for cruising at 420km/h (225kt) at 26,000ft. Force was to be supplied by a Porsche cylinder motor, however Grob later exchanged to the turbocharged Textron Lycoming Tio540 level six. An alternate powerplant choice switch will see creation flying machine controlled by a Teledyne Continental Tsiol550, additionally a turbocharged level six.
A key gimmick of the GF 200 is its pusher motor establishment. The motor, which is covered in the airframe and mounted on the airplane's inside of gravity, drives a three razor sharp edge consistent velocity propeller through a carbonfibre strengthened plastic shaft. Grob says the real point of interest of the pusher setup is that, dissimilar to tractor flying machine, the wind stream over the airframe is laminar.
Grob likewise asserts the GF 200's composite airframe gets critical profits drag diminishment contrasted and customary development. Different peculiarities of the airplane incorporate its progressed profile wing with winglets and retractable undercarriage.
The GF 200 was initially considered in 1983 by Grob's head of outline K H Fischer, whose idea was to apply the organization's broad information of composite development to another four spot elite four seater. The task was delayed until 1989 on account of potential troubles with certificating a composite air ship. Genuine configuration exertion continued with the aid of the German Ministry for Research and Technology, bringing about the unpressurised model's first flight on November 26 1991.
Arranged GF 200 advancements incorporate the GF 250 pressurized model, the extended six seat GF 250/6, six seat turboprop fueled GF 300 and the six to eight seat twin turboprop controlled (supplying power through a solitary driveshaft) GF 350.
Grob is looking for an accomplice to help it subsidize creation.
