GULL 24

-
Touch and go (2.8MB)
GULL can land and take-off repeatedly during a sortie, for use of sub-surface sensors and to achieve great persistence in detection/observation roles.
-
-
Calm conditions (4.0MB)
GULL can taxi at high speed on the surface and perform well at max gross weight in glassy conditions.
-
-
Choppy conditions (6.9MB)
With some headwind, GULL can use waves constructively to aid take-off. It can accelerate to flying speed within the length of large waves which form helpful launch ramps.

-
Low and high speed (6.6MB)
Large flap in slipstream aids low speed for take-off and landing in rough conditions. The narrow planing surface with no transverse step gives excellent cruise speed and efficiency.
