What are the applications for the EBECRYL 3605?
EBECRYL 3605 has been developed for applications requiring improved coating performance properties over those obtainable with conventional UV/EB curing alone.
When did they start testing the C-3605?
Early flight testing of the prototype began on 19 August 1968. During testing it was found that a third vertical stabiliser was also required. Flight testing showed that the prototype C-3605 possessed satisfactory flight characteristics, and the conversion of 23 C-3603 aircraft to C-3605 standard began.
When did the F + W C-3605 come out?
Flight testing showed that the prototype C-3605 possessed satisfactory flight characteristics, and the conversion of 23 C-3603 aircraft to C-3605 standard began. The aircraft were delivered by F+W between 1971 and January 1973.
What was the role of the Swiss C-3605?
Whilst in the service of the Swiss Air Force the C-3605s were usually painted in conspicuous yellow-and-black striped, high-visibility colour schemes. The plane operated faithfully in the target towing role, exceeding its expected 10 year structural life. However, by the mid 1980s, the aging aircraft had begun to show signs of airframe fatigue.
