Philippines Aircraft and Projects

[hesham]

From Philippines,


here is a group of aircraft and projects,


PAF XT-001 :was three seat primary trainer low wing aircraft powered by one 260 hp Lycoming O-540-E4A5 engine,based on SIAI-Marchetti SF-260.

PADC Project of fixed wing :four seat all metal high wing utility aircraft,powered by
one 300 hp Lycoming IO-540-K1BS engine.

PATS Project 7307 En :was two seat low-cost basic trainer aircraft,
powered by one 85 hp engine.

By the way,

PADC was PHILIPPINE AEROSPACE DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION

PAF was PHILIPPINE AIR FORCE

PATS was PHILIPPINE AIR TRANSPORT & TRAINING SERVICES INC.

By the way,

the PAF company also has two Projects;

Limbas; Type: Jet Trainer
Program: Acquired by the PAF in 1976 from the US (probably the AJI Cali), the PAFRDC's revised project designed the aircraft from scratch using a pure jet powerplant, other changes made was the replacement for the single canopy into a two-piece canopy, changes in engine mount, intake and cover. The designs are kept by the PAFRDC in microfilm, pending funding for further research. Status is currently unknown.

Kalabaw; Type: Utility Aircraft
Program: One of the PAF RDC's projects which intended to build a workhorse utility aircraft. The aircraft has design similarities with the N-22 Nomad transport aircraft, was in its preliminary design stages when it was shut down. Status is currently unknown, most probably abandoned.

Hi,

the PAF XT-004 Layang was a Basic Trainer Cantilever low-wing monoplane Project,all available
Info is here;

Program: After an intensified and revitalized Self-reliance program in 1996 the XT-004 Project code-named "Layang" was developed by the PAF Research and Development Center in Villamor Airbase, Pasay City. It is a single-engine aircraft powered by a 350 shp Allison turbo-prop engine and is constructed from aluminum with a semi monocoque structure. According the PAFRDC, the aircraft jigs and fixtures have already been built since 1985, but lack of funds hindered the completion of the project. Status is currently unknown, probably shelved pending further funding.
