The 331-5 Garrett- Honeywell 840 HP turbine engine and a newly designed Hartzel three blade 116 inch propeller (1591 RPM) provide Sherpa's amazing static thrust. The engine's ability to provide instant short bursts of power with out delay is essential when executing maximum short field performances. The Honeywell's conservative fuel burn also makes a perfect match for those long hauls. Click here to see a video of construction It's not by accident that Sherpa engineers designed a chrome molly 4130 steel tube type construction for the fuselage, landing gear and tail empennage. Built for use in the outback's most rugged country, the heavy-duty steel tube construction can withstand more abusive treatment than any other type of construction used in the industry today. When Sherpa designers set out to produce an aircraft that could accommodate such a wide variety of uses, the CG range was recognized as a critical issue. The problem was solved by incorporating the use of a heavy duty jack screw trim mechanism for the horizontal stabilizer. No wet wing here. Ten individual removable tanks provide Sherpa's 346 gallon fuel capacity. Eight inboard tanks are connected for the mains and two out board tanks constitute the Auxiliary system Features        Construction         Sales Information         Gallery         Video           Specifications
