Alpina D-DSNB Private Airplane

Alpina D-DSNB Private Airplane is an innovative four-passenger aircraft design that exemplifies advanced aeronautical engineering and thoughtful interior spatial optimization. Distinguished by its unique dual-wing configuration, the aircraft features auxiliary wings beneath the main wings that serve both aerodynamic and functional purposes, enhancing gliding stability while ingeniously doubling as access stairs for passenger entry. The aircraft's design emphasizes versatility in challenging terrain operations, particularly excelling in short takeoff and landing capabilities in mountainous regions with significant altitude variations. Constructed using lightweight composite materials throughout its structure, the aircraft achieves an optimal balance of durability and performance efficiency. The design showcases exceptional attention to passenger comfort through its spacious interior configuration, enhanced by perforated seating units and an expansive high-top glass canopy that maximizes visibility and creates an open, airy cabin atmosphere. With dimensions of 830 centimeters in length, 210 centimeters in height, and a substantial wingspan of 10,000 centimeters, the aircraft maintains impressive proportions while ensuring optimal aerodynamic performance. The innovative design, created by industrial designer Hakan Gursu, earned recognition with an Iron A' Design Award in the Aerospace and Aircraft Design category, acknowledging its contribution to aviation design excellence. The aircraft's sophisticated entry system features a front canopy for accessing pilot and co-pilot positions, complemented by sliding rear doors for back-seat passenger access, demonstrating a thoughtful approach to operational functionality and user experience.
