The Six Chuter SR1 is an American powered parachute that was designed and produced by Six Chuter of Yakima, Washington.[1]
Design and development
[edit]The aircraft was designed to comply with the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules, including the category's maximum empty weight of 254 lb (115 kg). It features a parachute-style high-wing, single-place accommodation, tricycle landing gear and a single 52 hp (39 kW) Rotax 503 engine in pusher configuration. The 64 hp (48 kW) Rotax 582 engine was a factory option.[1]
The aircraft is built from a combination of aluminium and 4130 steel tubing. In flight steering is accomplished via foot pedals that actuate the canopy brakes, creating roll and yaw. On the ground the aircraft has lever-controlled nosewheel steering. The aircraft was factory supplied in the form of an assembly kit that requires 40 hours to complete.[1]
