Gevers Aircraft, Inc. * GENESIS *

Numerous innovations make this the safest aircraft ever built.

• The extended wing lowers the stall speed, takeoff distance, landing distance, landing energy, glide angle, and increases the climb rate, climb angle, ceiling, glide distance, range, and endurance.
• The retracted wing (in cruise) is much stronger than conventional designs.
• Short wing and high wing loading improves tolerance to gust loads and improves ride quality.
• In cruise, the outer half of the wing is protected from ice accumulation and is exposed only for landing.

• Takeoff and landing crosswind limitations are nearly eliminated.
• There is no maximum gear extend or retract speed.
• The main gear is on the aircraft centerline so that any component failure does not cause directional control problems.
• The pilot can see the gear and determine configuration and condition from his seat.
• A gear-up or a water configuration landing on hard surface only effects the reinforced, removable ski panels. Prop tips do not touch the ground.
• A water configuration landing on snow does no damage.
• A gear-up landing on water or snow does no damage.
• A ski-down landing attempt on hard surface or water gives the pilot a warning in time to abort. And if he continues, the damage is minimal.
• The landing gear is attached to the engine mounts, so the main landing shock loads do not transfer through wing spars or fuselage.

• Both props automatically provide equal thrust in the event of an engine failure.
• The pilot has a greatly reduced work load during takeoff. He is not required to look in the cockpit for power reductions.
• The rotational inertia is lower than conventional twin engine aircraft.
• The engines are easily temperature controlled on the ground and in the air.
• The engines are isolated from out of balance forces, gyroscopic forces, and object strike forces of the props.
• The props are isolated from power pulses of the engines.
• An overspeeding prop does not overspeed the engine.
• Bystanders and passengers are protected from the props during ground operations.
• In the event of a prop failure, the prop thrust lines can be brought close together to minimize asymmetric thrust.
• The low CG due to the internal fuselage mounted engines improves the safety of high speed taxi turns - on land, snow, and water.
• More available thrust than conventional aircraft during engine failure.
• Little pilot action is required after an engine failure, and no tasks inside the cockpit.
