Aircraft Overview

FLM 136 is a reliable, cost effective, group 3 threat emulator with an open architecture. It is available in a target or threat configuration, and has the option of pneumatic catapult, rocket assisted takeoff (RATO), or truck launch. The crew consists of the operator, safety pilot, and ground personnel.

Dedicated payload bays and a removable nose cone combine to provide a 40 lb payload capacity, making the aircraft flexible to perform various tasks.

The air frame is manufactured using lightweight carbon fiber and composite materials to achieve an optimal strength to weight ratio. The airframe and subcomponents have been tested successfully to withstand stress witnessed in normal flight conditions while retaining an ample safety margin. The main components of the airframe consist of the fuselage, wings, and nose cone.
