UP CLOSE WITH DESIGNER DAVID PAYNE

摘要

Electric Flight: What's the story behind the new Cessna 150 Aerobat? I understand you have a childhood connection to this particular airplane. David Payne: Some of my earliest memories of flying are in this plane; my grandfather and father owned this exact plane. EF: What's the difference between a standard Cessna 150 and the Aerobat? DP: It had a few small changes and additions. The main ones were the addition of doors that could be jettisoned, a skylight in the top of the wing, four-point harnesses and a removable lower seat cushion for parachutes.
