The Tecnam Astore is a low wing, two place, single engine airplane equipped with tricycle landing gear. The all metal airframe structure is complemented by the selective use of an epoxy reinforced matrix of carbon/glass fiber for the upper radome and fairings.
The main landing gear consists of two 7075T6 light alloy springs which are hinged inside the fuselage in order to maximize the wheel deflection and energy absorption efficiency. These springs are supported by robust machined components which spread the load directly onto the main bulkheads. Two rawhide liners are inserted between each springleaf and the external machined beam. Two bolts secure the individual springleaf to the edge of the beam via a light alloy clamp while a single bolt secures the inboard end of the leafspring to the hinge and inner machined beam. The nose gear is free castering and is supported by an oleo-pneumatic shock absorber connected directly to the firewall. Differential toe brakes for steering are standard for both pilot and copilot with redundant brake master cylinders (4 in total). The horizontal tail is made up of a stabilizer and elevator with tip balancing horns. All the control surfaces, except for the flaps and trim tab, are balanced, and all the surfaces, except for the rudder and fuselage aileron line, are controlled via pushpull rods.
