General Features
Development
Concept : The HF1.1 is a high-quality, well-engineered all-metal construction kit designed for amateur builders. The HF1.1 is capable of +6/-3Gs aerobatic maneuvers.
Configuration : The HF1.1 is a light, single-engine aircraft featuring a low wing and a tandem panoramic cockpit.
Powerplant
Piston Engine : Designed to be perfectly suited for a 180-horsepower piston engine, we recommend the reliability of Textron Lycoming engines.
Turboprop : We have chosen a 180-horsepower turbine due to its notable advantages over piston engines. This turbine stands out as a viable alternative to piston engines.
