ORKA EM-11C - four seater twin-engine aircraft

ORKA is a four seater twin-engine aircraft with retractable landing gear, high-wing configuration with push-type propellers and comfortable passenger cabin. The aircraft is adjusted to VFR flights during daytime and at night, in future it is planned to fulfill the requirements of IFR. Shell structure is all-composite with honeycomb filler.
Wings have foldable tips for easier hangaring. Two fuel tanks of 200 litres capacity each are installed in wings. Fuselage has upwards-opening door in the front part and cargo hatch in the central part. Passenger cabin has four separate seats, of which the front ones are reclining and sliding. The seats have 3-point inertial safety belts. Vertical tail unit is mounted on fuselage. Tail plane is in T type. Electrical trimming tabs are mounted on both planes. Flight control systems are controlled by a rigid push-rod transmission system, the rudder is controlled with use of a line. The aircraft is propelled by two counter-rotating engines LYCOMING IO-320 / LIO-320 of 160 HP each at 2,700 RPM. Such a solution eliminates the so-called "critical engine", which significantly facilitates controlling the aircraft in the event that one of the engines shuts down. 3-blade constant-speed type propellers are manufactured by MT-Propeller. Hydraulically retracted landing gear is mounted on fuselage and has gas shock absorbers with hydraulic damping. It greatly improves the comfort of landing and take-off on grass airfields of bad quality and uneven surface.
