The Takáura CP4 Stratosuíne is an Algizan business aircraft developed and built by Takáura.
Development
Development of the CP4 began concurrently with the founding of the Takáura Corporation.[1]
Design
The Stratosuíne is a low wing, pressurised cabin design with retractable landing gear. Two Corain Motors PN-01-20 turbofan engines mounted at the rear act as the powerplant for the aircraft. The CP4 is piloted from a single-seat, all glass cockpit, with the aid of a fly-by-optics computer aided control system. The airframe is constructed largely out of composite materials.
It is certified for extended over water flights and operations at high altitude and steep approach airports.
Variants
CP4-20S
The 20S is the base variant of the Stratosuine.
CP4-40L
The 40L variant stretches the aircraft's fuselage by over 30%, making space for two additional windows on each side and seating for up to four more passengers.
Operational History
The Stratosuíne has been involved in no fatal or hull loss incidents.
On the February 11th, 2138, a CP4 belonging to a private owner suffered a nose gear collapse during a landing at Nautilus. The aircraft had experienced a hard touchdown in rough conditions three days prior, but this had not been written up by the pilot and the landing gear had not been thoroughly inspected since. One passenger suffered a minor injury. The airframe was later repaired and returned to service.
