Manufacturer | SITAR |
Designer | Yves Gardan |
The SITAR GY-110 Sher Khan [1] was a light aircraft designed in France in the late 1960s as a larger and more powerful version of designer Yves Gardan's Bagheera. [2] [3] [4] Like the Bagheera, it was to be a conventional low-wing, cantilever monoplane with a fully enclosed cabin. [2] [3] However, although the Bagheera had seating for up to four people in 2+2 configuration, [2] the Sher Khan was to have a stretched fuselage [2] with full seating for four people. [2] [3] [4] The wingspan was also to be enlarged, [2] and unlike the Bagheera, whose tricycle undercarriage was fixed, the Sher Khan's was to be retractable. [2] [4]
Power was to be supplied by engines in the 150-kW to 240-kW (200-hp to 300-hp) range. [4]
