Immediately noticeable is the incredible view from the cockpit. The seats and safety belts are engineered to the latest +26G CS/FAR-23 certification standards. The cabin has been engineered as a safety cell/roll bar with built-in energy absorption zones, providing superior safety to the occupants in the event of an accident. Panthera is your personal high performance bubble of safety! As part of the rich serial equipment, Panthera features a full-airframe parachute rescue system, which was specially developed, so it can be deployed at both low- and high speeds as well as low altitudes. All actuation systems on the aircraft are fully electric, avoiding the need for complex and heavy hydraulics. The retractable trailing-link undercarriage is built from titanium, giving it superior strength and energy absorption properties at minimum system weight. The majority of the structure of the aircraft is made from carbon-fibre composites, with antistatic materials and Kevlar used in areas where it matters. Realizing Panthera’s aerodynamic shape while still ensuring maximum safety and keeping the weight low would be impossible without the use of advanced next-gen materials. Its instantly recognizable T-tail ensures low interference drag and helps improve spin characteristics by preventing the horizontal stabilizer from shadowing the rudder at high angles of attack. The specially designed wing airfoils are optimized for cruise efficiency and therefore speed, while at the same time ensuring high maximum lift and docile stall characteristics. Also special is the solar-powered ventilation which keeps the cabin cool when Panthera is parked outside in the sun.Īvailable colour combinations of the interior: Panthera interior.pdf – download hereĮach detail of Panthera’s graceful lines has been thoroughly aerodynamically optimized using customized, state of the art computational fluid dynamics software, resulting in a smooth and clean shape. It will keep you cool during the summer and warm during the winter. Climate is controlled thanks to the on-board air-condition with automatic ventilation (optional). There is a supersized – standard cabin luggage sized – cargo door, but the cargo can also be accessed from the cockpit during the flight! The interior is furnished with the highest quality leather and LED lighting for exclusive feel and functionality. The two back seats are very wide and convenient. The central stick is ergonomic and provides the sporty feel signature to Panthera. Access is easy via three large gull-wing style doors, two in the front for pilot and co-pilot and one for the back row of seats. All features provide superior comfort and usability for people of all sizes. One of the major design points of Panthera is the state-of-the-art ergonomic cabin. Hybrid and electric models further reduce the take-off noise footprint by taking advantage of the pure-electric take-off. The engine is ready for the future, able to accept unleaded fuels and meeting the future environmental requirements. The robust design of the undercarriage and low overall weight allows for operations from short grass strips, taking you as close as possible to your desired destination. The maximal range is available with any payload, something which pilots of four-seat airplanes have been wishing for. No other four-seat aircraft exists that flies this fast on the same engine! For the owner/operator this represents significantly lower operating costs and simplified maintenance. Efficiency is translated directly into more speed for the same power. Panthera achieves unprecedented efficiency through careful aerodynamic shaping, retractable titanium undercarriage, lightweight advanced composite structure, a tailor-made propeller and a dedicated performance exhaust system.
