| An experienced team of engineers who have worked for major aerospace manufacturers, computer aided design and well proven simple construction techniques, ensure that the Gavilan 358 is built to last. |  |
 |
| The Gavilan 358's fuselage is made of a light tubular steel truss, covered by aluminum. The wings and control surfaces are all made from aluminum. The wings use two spars and an external strut for support, and attach directly onto the steel fuselage frame. Extensive corrosion proofing is utilized throughout the aircraft. | ||
| The wide tricycle landing gear is rugged and designed for operation from unimproved strips. The nose gear uses a trailing link arrangement for strength and is free to swivel through 360, making the aircraft very maneuverable on the ground. | |
 |
| Shock absorbers in the main gear and the nose gear are made from elastomeric materials, ensuring a smooth ride on the ground, as well as many hours of maintenance free operations. | ||
| The Gavilan 358 is powered by a well- proven reliable
Lycoming turbocharged engine that delivers 350 horsepower. |
