Árnason JFP-2S-8
The Árnason JFP-2S-8 was a 1990s Icelandic experimental aircraft that utilised jet flap technology. It did not fly. Design and development Kristján Árnason was an aircraft engineer who designed and built the JFP-2S-8 to incorporate a 'jet flap propulsion' system he had devised and for which he had been granted a WIPO patent. The aeroplane was a high-wing monoplane, of canard configuration. Two intakes, positioned midway along the fuselage, fed air to two high-pressure turbines, powered by a pair of two-stroke engines. The compressed air was then expelled out over full-span flaps that formed the trailing edges of both the forewing and the main wing. The aeroplane featured a fully faired fuselage, an enclosed cockpit, a central tailfin, and a fixed tricycle undercarriage. Design commenced in 1975, construction started circa 1987 and was completed in 1996. Both the aircraft's model name and its registration of TP-JFP reference its 'jet flap propulsion' system.
