Scaled Composites ARES - Aircraft Performance

Aircraft Performance

The ARES has very good turning performance as a result of low wing loading. Its turn rate is 32 degree/second at 6G and 36 degree/second at 7G (the structure is limited to 8G). The corner speed is 210 kt (390 km/h) the stall speed is 78 kt (145 km/h).

Due to high fuel volume and good cruising efficiency the aircraft can have a range of 1200 nautical miles (2200 km) at altitude and long endurance.
