About This Item

 
 

 

O CHIPMUNK MK20 é um avião bi-lugar em tandem, metálico, com trem fixo e travões hidráulicos de disco, dotados de duplo comando.

Foi utilizado pela FAP para instrução elementar de pilotagem podendo, pelas suas caraterísticas de voo fazer toda a acrobacia e, em boas condições meteorológicas, voo noturno e por instrumentos.

Das cerca de 30 unidades que a Força Aérea dispunha e devido ao seu efetivo, foram selecionadas 7 unidades que, com vista à execução de missões de reboque de planadores da AFA, foram submetidas a várias modificações.

As modificações introduzidas constam de remotorização mais potente (145 HP para 180 HP); novo bloco de travões; novo rádio; transponder; derivas anti-vrille e pintura original da instrução na Força Aérea, com inscrição e emblema da Academia da Força Aérea.
