Aircraft and systems on board
Taurus is a 15-meter-wingspan, side by side
T-tail motorglider made almost entirely of
composite materials. The wing is mid-mounted
cantilever type, propulsion system is fully re-
tractable to enhance gliding performance
The undercarriage is a taildragger type with
two main, brake equipped wheels, which are
fully retractable. Tail wheel stearable through
rudder input.
Taurus features flaperons, which are intercon-
nected flaps and ailerons presented in the
same deflecting surface. Flaps offer 5 settings:
neutral, 1
st
, T , L and the negative position of
which none have any impact on aileron de-
flections whatsoever. What is more, individual
main flight control levers make Taurus ideal for
initial as well as for advanced flight training.
All aileron, elevator and flap controls are con-
nected to the cabin controls using self-fitting
push-pull tubes. Rudder deflects via cables.
The elevator trim is mechanical, spring type.
All aircraft ship with H type safety belts at-
tached to the fuselage at three mounting
points. Rudder pedals can be adjusted to suit
your size and needs.
The batteries are in the fuselage, placed in
four metal boxes with dedicated connectors.
Charging must be carried out only with origi-
nal Pipistrel dedicated chargers.
The motor/controller system Electro40/30 is
standard and the aircraft features the Master
On-board Computer (MOC) that provides
throttle-by-wire capability.
The cannopy is either transparent or blue-
tinted plexy-glass.
Main wheel brakes are hydraulicly driven disc
type. The hydraulic brake fluid used is DOT 4.
Cabin ventilation is achieved through special
ducts fitted onto the cannopy frame and may
be adjusted for crew’s comfort.
To enhance aerodynamics for gliding, Taurus
fully retracts the propulsion unit. This proce-
dure is fully automated and invoked by only a
flip of a switch on the instrument panel.
Electric circuit enables the pilot to test individ-
ual circuit items. Navigational (NAV), and anti
collision (AC) lights are an option. The motor/
propeller compartment is fully enclosed and
separated from the cockpit.
Basic instruments come installed with opera-
tional limits pre-designated. EYS-MAN is stand-
ard equipment.
A ballistic parachute rescue system can be
installed as an option (in some countries e.g.
Germany the ballistic rescue system must be
installed).
