The ICP Savannah is a high wing, single engine, ultralight with side-by-side seating for two produced in Italy by ICP srl. It has sold in large numbers, particularly in Europe. The Savannah is in production, sold in both kit and ready to fly form.[1][2]

Design and development[edit]

The Savannah is a conventionally laid out two seat aircraft which can be bought in ready to fly or kit form. It is commonly registered as a light-sport aircraft in the United States and as an ultralight in some other jurisdictions and is considered a microlight aircraft in New Zealand. It has much in common with the Zenith CH 701, though the Savannah has a different empennage; later versions have further diverged from the Zenith, particularly in the wing design.[3] Manufacture (both ready to fly and kits) is done in the ICP premises located in Castelnuovo Don Bosco (Piedmont, Italy), where the firm moved on September 10, 2009[4] from the original plant in Piovà Massaia.

Structurally, the Savannah is a metal semi-monocoque. Most variants have a constant chord wing like that of the Zenith, with flaps and ailerons combined into Junkers-style flaperons. The Savannah Advanced has a shorter, tapered wing. Early variants retained full span leading edge slots, later replaced with vortex generators. The high wing is braced to the lower fuselage with a V-pair of struts on each side. At their base, the spatted mainwheels of the tricycle undercarriage are mounted on cantilever legs.[3][5] The Savannah can be mounted on Kevlar/carbon fiber floats; swapping from land to water gear takes about 150 min.[6] An alternative floatplane version, using amphibious floats, was called the Savannah Hydro.[3]

Savannahs have been powered with a variety of small engines in the 35-70 kW range. The cabin seats two side by side under the wing, the newer XL version having increased width and enhanced glazing. Aft, the fuselage is flat sided, with the underside rising towards the tail. The rectangular tailplane and elevators, which use a conventional airfoil unlike that of the Zenith, are set at the top of the fuselage with the rudder running between the elevators to the keel. Fin and rudder are straight tapered and slightly swept.[3] . The ICP factory may supply a rudder extension as an optional extra.

Zenith STOL CH 701 designer Chris Heintz considers the Savannah an unauthorized copy of his design.[7] Despite this, ICP and Zenair began a partnership in 2012 whereby ICP assembles the ready-to-fly version of the low wing Zenair 650Ei, an evolution of the AMD Zodiac, for the European market.[8]

Operational history[edit]

Sales, beginning around 2000, had by 2010 reached 650 aircraft or kits. Easyrecovery 11 crack. As of mid-2010 there have been about 513 Savannahs and Bingos on the registers of European countries west of Russia.[9][10] Smaller numbers fly in North America, where the agents was Skykits Co.,[6] replaced in 2011 by I.C.P. Aviation North America, LLC (ICPANA),[11] and elsewhere. In Australia and New Zealand, the 600 kg version of the Savannah XL and Savannah S are growing in popularity. As an example, as of January 2019 there are three types of Savannahs on the New Zealand aircraft register. This includes eight VG models, two XL models and nine S models for a total of nineteen. [12] . Currently, there are another six S models under construction in New Zealand. In Australia, the best estimate is that there are 100 completed Savannahs flying; many more are under construction.[citation needed]

It is expected that the total number of ICP aircraft (all models, mainly Savannah and Bingo) produced exceeded 2,000 units by the end of 2011.[13]

In 2008 an order from the Indian Air Force was expected.[3]

Arrow of God, published in 1964, is the third novel by Chinua Achebe. Along with Things Fall Apart and No Longer at Ease, it is considered part of The African Trilogy, sharing similar settings and themes. The novel centers on Ezeulu, the chief priest of several Igbo villages in Colonial Nigeria, who confronts colonial powers and Christian missionaries in the 1920s.[1] The novel was published as part of the influential Heinemann African Writers Series.

The phrase 'Arrow of God' is drawn from an Igbo proverb in which a person, or sometimes an event, is said to represent the will of God.[2]Arrow of God won the first ever Jock Campbell/New Statesman Prize for African writing.[3]

Plot summary[edit]

The novel is set amongst the villages of the Igbo people in British Nigeria during the 1920s. Ezeulu is the chief priest of the godUlu, worshipped by the six villages of Umuaro. The book begins with Ezeulu and Umuaro fighting against a nearby village, Okperi. The conflict is abruptly resolved when T.K. Winterbottom, the British colonial overseer, intervenes.

After the conflict, a Christian missionary, John Goodcountry, arrives in Umuaro. Goodcountry begins to tell the villages tales of Nigerians in the Niger Delta who abandoned (and battled) their traditional 'bad customs' in favor of Christianity.

Ezeulu is called away from his village by Winterbottom and is invited to become a part of the colonial administration, a policy known as indirect rule. Ezeulu refuses to be a 'white man's chief' and is thrown in prison. In Umuaro, the people cannot harvest the yams until Ezeulu has called the New Yam Feast to give thanks to Ulu. When Ezeulu returns from prison, he refuses to call the feast despite being implored by other important men in the village to compromise. Ezeulu reasons to the people and to himself that it is not his will but Ulu's; Ezeulu believes himself to be half spirit and half man. The yams begin to rot in the field, and a famine ensues for which the village blames Ezeulu. Seeing this as an opportunity, John Goodcountry proposes that the village offer thanks to the Christian God instead and they may harvest what remains of their crops with 'immunity'.


Many of the villagers have already lost their faith in Ezeulu. One of Ezeulu's sons, Obika, dies during a traditional ceremony, and the villagers interpret this as a sign that Ulu has taken sides with them against his priest. For this apparent judgement against Ezeulu and the promised immunity by the Christian God, at the Christian Harvest, taking place a few days after Obika's death, many men embrace Christianity by sending their son there with yams.

The title 'Arrow of God' refers to Ezeulu's image of himself as an arrow in the bow of his god.[4]

Themes[edit]

Ulu, the villages of Umuaro and Okperi, and the colonial officials are all fictional. But Nigeria in the 1920s was controlled by British Colonial authorities, indirect rule was tested as a governing strategy, and many of the Igbo people did abandon their traditional beliefs for Christianity. The novel is considered a work of African literary realism.

Achebe's first novel, Things Fall Apart, tells the tale of Okonkwo, a leader in his community until colonialism enters. Arrow of God similarly describes the downfall of a traditional leader at the hands of colonialism. The central conflicts of the novel revolve around the struggle between continuity and change, such as Ezeulu refusing to serve Winterbottom, or between the traditional villagers and Ezeulu's son who studies Christianity.[4]
