Pelican Sport 600 Technical descriptive
The Pelican Sport 600 is a two-seat, single-engine, high-wing aircraft with a conventional design. It features a composite fuselage and metal wings, equipped with a fixed tricycle landing gear.
The aircraft is powered by a BRP Rotax 912 ULS engine, a 4-cylinder, 4-stroke engine with opposed cylinders and dual electronic ignition. It includes a dry sump with an oil pump, liquid-cooled heads, and an integrated gearbox. The engine is equipped with a 12V/250 Watt generator, two Bing 32 mm carburetors, a 0.6 KW electric starter, and a mechanical fuel pump. It delivers 100 HP at 5800 RPM and 92 HP at 5500 RPM.
The cockpit is equipped with an airspeed indicator, altimeter, magnetic compass, engine tachometer, cylinder head temperature gauge, oil pressure gauge, oil temperature gauge, and two electrical fuel gauges.
The aircraft uses a carbon fiber, three-blade propeller that is 68 inches in diameter and ground adjustable.
The fuselage is constructed from a vacuum-molded composite structure with an S2-glass vinyl ester resin laminate and a rigid PVC foam core. The cockpit features two side-by-side seats with foam cushions, dual sticks, dual pedals, a center console, and a polycarbonate windshield. The baggage compartment can hold up to 50 lbs (23 kg) without a ballistic chute and 20 lbs (9 kg) with one. Both seats have a three-point seat belt and shoulder harness system.
The wings are all-metal with a single-strut, single-spar construction covered with aluminum skins. The wing tips are made of molded fiberglass. The tail features an all-aluminum construction with aluminum skins, and the rudder and elevators are also aluminum with molded fiberglass tips.
The aircraft has a dual control stick system, dual rudder pedal system, and a differential braking system. Ailerons are operated through a bell crank/push-rod mechanism, and flaps are operated by a torque tube connected to a mechanical lever. The elevator trim is mechanically operated, while fixed trims are used for the rudder and ailerons.
Flaps are mechanically operated by a Johnson bar-type lever with five positions ranging from 0° to 45°. The elevator trim is mechanically operated by a lever on the console.
The fuel system includes two 12.0 USG composite tanks located in the wings, feeding the engine via a 0.2 USG aluminum header tank. All tanks are inter-vented, and each wing tank is vented to the outside.
The main landing gear legs are made of heat-treated 4130-spring steel tubing, with aluminum blocks supporting the legs. The nose gear leg is made of 4130 tubing with an aluminum fork, and a bungee chord provides suspension. The nose wheel is steerable and locks in flight. A tail-dragger option is available.
The main wheels are 5-inch Cleveland with disk brakes and 500*5 tires, while the nose wheel is a 6-inch Azusa with a 13 x 600 tire.
Optional equipment includes upholstery and carpet, tail wheel, cabin heat and ventilation system, strobe and navigation lights system, speed fairings, wheel pants, propeller spinner, radios, ballistic recovery chute, and 1,500 lb floats.
