Edgley-EA-7-Optica-Srs-301

Wallpaper Description:

a fully glazed forward cabin seating three across, reminiscent of an Alouette helicopter.

Behind it was situated a Lycoming flat-six engine powering a ducted fan, twin boom cantilever tailplane with twin rudders and a high-mounted single elevator.

The fixed tricycle undercarriage had the nosewheel offset to the left.

The wings were unswept and untapered, and the aircraft was of a fairly standard all-metal construction with stressed aluminium skin.

The aircraft's distinctive appearance led to it being known as the "bug-eye" in some popular reports.
It first flew on 14 December 1979,[2] powered by a 150 hp (112 kW) Lycoming O-320 engine[3] and flown by the chief pilot of the Cranfield College of Aeronautics.[4] The Optica, now powered by a more powerful Lycoming O-540,[5] entered production in 1983, achieving certification on 8 February 1985.
