Higher angles of attack can thus beĪchieved, which help exploit the coefficient of lift (C L) to the Wing, and smoothening out the airflow by reattaching the separated boundary To allow high-energy air to swish through the slot to the upper surface of the Indent at the wing root that cleared up the obstruction.Īt high angles of attack, small fixed slats at the wing root were incorporated A simple solution to the problem was an angled Root was attached against the fuselage in such a position that the pilot had toĬrane his neck forward to see along the wing leading edge (or the ‘3-9 line’). Of the forward swept wing design was required on the MFI-15, because the wing Longitudinal balance, several gliders have a slight forward swept design. The result of this shoulder-mounted configuration Retaining the desired longitudinal stability. In the forward swept configuration, where the wing root is attached to theįuselage sufficiently aft – so that the wing spar is clear of the cockpit – yet Contrary to expectations, however, the Army version with tail wheel and high-lift flaps was not chosen by any customer.Ī solution to this problem of shoulder-mounted wings was found The tail plane was, therefore, shifted up, out of the downwash.Ĭonfiguration was that the tail plane stayed clear of debris kicked up by the prop These high-lift flaps at full down (38°) for a short landing, the downwash from the main wing caused tail This version also had provision for quick-refit, high-lift slotted flaps instead of plain flaps, for STOL performance. During flight trials, it was discovered that when using ![]() More powerful Avco Lycoming IO-360-A1B6, four-cylinder, air-cooled pistonĮngine became the standard power plant for the production version from 1971Ī tail-wheel version of the MFI-15 was also conceived, whereby, the regular tricycle configuration could be converted into a tail-dragger in a couple of hours, as attachment points were provided for either type of gear. Landing gear, and side-by-side seating for two, with dual stick type controls.Īn additional passenger could also be housed in a spacious baggage compartment. Itįeatured shoulder-mounted wings having a 5° forward sweep, fixed tricycle Utility aircraft, with a more powerful piston engine. The MFI-15 Safari was an all-metal aerobatic trainer and Of the Junior, Andreasson was at hand to oversee the project. When Malmö Flygindustri decided to build a senior version Improvements included a larger cockpit,Īnd a more powerful Continental O-200 flat-four, air cooled piston engine That went into production as the MFI-9 Junior, along with its German Joined Malmö Flygindustri where he designed an improved version of BA-7 Aeronautical engineer working for Convair USA, designed his home-built BA-7 inġ958, incorporating the distinctive shoulder-mounted wing with a forward sweep. ![]()
