The XL fuselage width version is designed to provide additional comfort, especially in the pilot’s arm and leg areas. This version offers an extra 5 centimeters of space in the arm area, ensuring more freedom of movement and a more comfortable flying experience.
Enhanced Cockpit Space
The modification also results in a wider fuselage around the instrument panel area due to the altered shape of the upper longeron. This not only increases the width in the arm area but also provides more room for the pilot’s legs, making the cockpit more spacious overall.
Difference Between STD and XL Width
The key differences between the standard (STD) and XL fuselage width are:
Arm Area: The XL version adds 5 cm of width, enhancing comfort and ease of movement.
Instrument Panel Area: The XL version is wider around the instrument panel, providing a more open and less restrictive environment for pilots.
Leg Room: The XL width also contributes to additional leg space, further improving overall comfort during flight.
This increased space makes the XL fuselage width version particularly suitable for pilots who prefer or require more room in the cockpit, contributing to a more comfortable and ergonomic flying experience.
