Wichita, Kansas – The Power and Data Systems (PDS) business unit of Ametek Aerospace & Defense has been selected by the Cessna Aircraft Co., a subsidiary of Textron Aviation Inc., a Textron Inc. company, to provide the flap system for the Cessna Denali high-performance, single-engine turboprop.
The clean-sheet Cessna Denali is being designed to outperform its competition in capability, pilot interface, and ownership costs. Engineered to achieve cruise speeds of 285kts and full fuel payload of 1,100 lb, the Denali will have a range of 1,600nm at high-speed cruise with one pilot and four passengers and can fly from Los Angeles to Chicago, New York to Miami, or London to Moscow.
The flap system developed by Ametek consists of eight mechanical actuators and a flap power drive unit (PDU) for each aircraft. The PDU is an off-the-shelf design based on the Ametek MP50Y series motor initially developed for the flap system aboard the Cessna Citation Mustang business jet. The mechanical flap actuators developed for the Cessna Denali are new additions to Ametek’s line of electromechanical actuators.
