Backed by Sonaca group's experience (over eighty years of experience in aerostructure), Sonaca Aircraft has developed and marketed the Sonaca 200, a certified two-seater aircraft that combines in-flight performance with reduced operational costs. Designed in close collaboration with the stakeholders in the field (Flying clubs, Flying Schools, Private Pilots,...), the Sonaca 200 meets first and foremost the general aviation and training sector’s needs. The Sonaca 200 is a two-seater low-wing aircraft with an all-metal structure and a 750 kg maximum take-off weight. Its classic structure is composed of frames, spars and sheets made of advanced aluminum alloy, which provides very effective protection against corrosion. The Sonaca 200 has a semi-rigid aluminum structure (spar, frame and skin covering construction). The fuselage, wing, and vertical stabilizer are made of aluminum alloy, while the main landing gear consists of a single aluminum alloy arch designed to withstand 6G loads. The structure is designed to be highly corrosion resistant, due to careful selection of optimum aluminum alloys and use of correct drainage, sealants and corrosion inhibitors. The choice of the riveting assembly is driven by the willingness to provide easy and standard repairs included in the Sonaca 200 standard repair manual. The two separate tanks with a usable capacity of 70 liters are integrated in the wings, in front of the main spar. The wings are equipped with electric flaps.
