Design |
The Yabhon-R is constructed of fiber glass-epoxy materials completely vacuum bagged for max Strength/weight ratio and is intended to be operated from a prepared strip. The removable double Delta wing with laminar airfoils is optimized for efficient cruise. The fuselage section contains all fuel, avionics, payloads, parachute, and the power unit. The retractable landing gear includes a steerable nose wheel and individually controlled main wheel brakes. An integral emergency recovery system (parachute) is mounted within the fuselage. The landing wheels are fixed expect the nose wheel which is retractable.

Mobility |
The Yabhon-R is powered by a single 100-hp engine driving a three-blade propelled at the tail. Powered by efficient jet turbines, the airframe is capable of long endurance with high performance. It can fight at a maximum speed of 240 km/h and has a flight endurance of 27 hours.
