Ultralight / ULM and LSA Aircraft for Sport Pilots

3xtrim
450 ultra

Aircraft information:
The 3Xtrim is a single-engine, two-seater monoplane with braced high wing, conventional controls and fixed three-wheel landing gear. The front-mounted engine is coupled to a two-blade or three-blade (depending on version) adjustable pulling propeller. A spacious, heated and ventilated cockpit with seats in one row and a large baggage compartment make the airplane comfortable, silent and well furbished. Access is easy through doors on each side opening upwards and supported in this position by gas springs. Fixed three-wheel landing gear with castoring front wheel, composite main spring and hydraulic disc brakes, ensures safe take-off and landing on all types of airport surfaces, grass included. The Ballistic Rescue System (BRS5) provides protection for the passengers and aircraft at altitudes above 30 m and speeds up to 235 kmph (145 mph). The aircraft structure is fabricated from composites based on epoxy resin with glass and carbon fibre. This totally composite structure reduces necessary maintenance work to pre-flight inspection and cleaning. The aircraft fully complies with the JAR-VLA requirements and has a Type Certificate of Very Light Airplane. Excellent flight characteristics make this aircraft a perfect choice for primary schooling, training, travelling, and recreation. The aircraft is just as suitable for patrol flights and aerial photography. Flying is precise, easy, safe, and pleasant. Thanks to the incorporated technical solutions, components and materials, operational costs are low and comparable with a medium-class passenger car. A three-years manufacturer\'s warranty is standard. The aircraft is manufactured in three versions: * ULA - \"Ultra Light Aircraft\" * AULA - \"Advanced Ultra Light Aircraft\" * VLA - \"Very Light Aircraft\" Text and photo from: www.3xtrim.pl

AAC Amfibian of Canada, LTD.
Seastar Amfibian

Aircraft information:
Originally the Petrel amfibian.

--- The Seastar, whose design now go back for over 10 years, originates from France and Brazil.

Seastar, a variation from the original concept, has a larger enclosed cockpit designed especially with the North American pilot size and requirement in mind. The hull is wider and slightly longer from the previous models and an improved step in the hull, enhances water take-off capability greatly. A longer lower wing with the fuel tank in the wings adds to flying safety and overall performance. These additional design changes have made the Seastar the most advanced and desirable amphibian airplane on the market today. There are nearly one hundred units Seastar type aircraft flying throughout the world today.

Currently the Seastar is only available as a kit, but soon, AAC Amphibian Airplanes of Canada LTD will be supplying the North American and Worldwide markets with the ready to fly Light Sportsplane version of the Seastar, to be known as the SeaLoon. The complete "Seastar fast build kit" consisting of all structural noble hardware and components will still be available for the foreseeable future.

Our goal is to have a good relationship with Seastar owners and builders, similar to that of the "Airstream Organization", and to build a product with utmost emphasis on safety and reliability. We will strive to promote future products, get-togethers and air ventures worldwide. We look forward to having each Seastar owner as a personal friend and potential representative of the Seastar fraternity with good long-lasting relationships with everyone worldwide.

Ace Aircraft Company
Corben Baby Ace

Aircraft information:
As early as the 1920s, Mr. Orland G. Corben believed that flying should not be a rich man's luxury. He saw the need for an aircraft that was properly designed, inexpensive to build, and safe and easy to fly. To recognize this goal, Mr. Corben created the first homebuilt airplane, the Baby Ace. In 1954, Paul Poberenzy, who a year earlier had founded the still fledgling Experimental Aircraft Association, built a Baby Ace aircraft as a three part series in Mechanix Illustrated. The success of the articles caused an explosion in the homebuilt movement. The Baby Ace that Mr. Poberenzy built for Mechanix Illustrated is now in the EAA AirVenture Museum.

Today, you can build and own an aircraft with a history almost as old as powered flight itself. The Ace Aircraft Company offers plans and kits for the single place Baby Ace Model D and the two place Junior Ace Model E aircraft, and we are currently pursuing FAA certification to build Ace aircraft ready to fly away. And all Ace aircraft meet the standards for the new Light-Sport Aircraft category. Indeed, Mr. Corben's dream in the 1920s of well designed, inexpensive, and safe homebuilt aircraft is still being realized today.

The price is for kit.

Aeroplanes DAR
SpeedSter

Aircraft information:
DAR Speedster The design team of Aeroplanes DAR, has the ambitious goal to modify the existing models DAR-21 First serious change is the new wing. The new wing increases the airplane performance. The result indicated 17-20 percent better wing performance than the original design. Second serious change is made in the fuselage. The structure of airframe is new with reduced weight, while increasing the rigidity. Again, as with the wings, the new advanced technology help to achieve better results and to keep the general outside lines of the machine, because this design was very well accepted by the customers. The DAR Speedster continues this design line, with ‘small” elegant changes. Many details have been redesigned and improved, giving a more ennoble view of the fuselage and airplane. All of these "small" changes have also aerodynamic reason and we have eliminated most of the parts that produced addition al drag.

Aeroprakt
A-22 Foxbat

Aircraft information:
Although a modern aircraft in concept the Aeroprakt A22 Foxbat uses a very conventional method of construction in riveted aluminium. Each kit is supplied with the fuselage, wings, tailplane, fin and all control surfaces pre-riveted.

The pictures show the airframe kit exactly as it comes out of the crate. The remaining riveting work is confined to final fitting of the floor-pan (which is already "cleco'd" in place) and securing the fin and various mounting brackets and webs to the bare fuselage monocoque. Three special holding cradles are required during this stage of the construction and we provide these on free loan. The rest of the work consists of fitting the engine and ancillaries, the control mechanisms (torque tubes, push rods, bell-cranks, etc) all of which are factory finished, anodised and ready to install. No fabrication of components is required (each component bearing surface even has a pressed in aerospace-quality rose-joint).

After installing the under-carriage and wheels the final finishing involves covering and painting, and fitting the instrument panel, etc. A A-22 Foxbat kit can be assembled in 500 hours by one person, or less with an assistant. One person can complete most of the assembly but some jobs will need an extra pair of hands. With good planning a largish domestic garage will be a big enough workshop space to complete all the sub-assemblies including covering and painting. Obviously a larger space is required for the complete assembly of the aircraft although that could be done outdoors prior to final Inspection and transport to the airfield for test flying. A folding wing option is available.

Aerostyle (Aerosport Ltd in US)
Breezer

Aircraft information:
With the engine choice contrary to many other manufacturers another path was taken: We selected a modified BMW fuel injection engine, which has its origin in the building of motorcycles. This engine of in the UL scene admitted Trike manufacturer "Take off" reequipped. The special characteristics of this engine generation are:

- standard fuel injection system

- catalyst optionally possible

- smaller consumption

- better launch characteristics

- favorable mass production technology

- no carburetor icing

The engine in aerostyle Breezer can convince also by its calm, strong run, as well as its pleasant clay/tone With a view under the Cowling immediately the clear and low-maintenance installation of the engine as well as the associated aggregates is noticeable.

Since however many ultralight aircraft prefer the Rotax 912, in 2001 a Aerostyle Breezer was equipped with a Rotax 912 S and certified. Other engine concepts are at present in the development, and/or in planning - let surprise itself!

Arion Aircraft, LLC
Lightning

Aircraft information:
Text and photo from: http://www.arionaircraft.com

The Arion Aircraft design team cut their teeth in the amateur built light plane sector of the aviation world over the last 15 years. After progressing from Kolbs to Titans to RV's and Esquals, the vision began to emerge of a new sort of light aircraft. One that would look great and offer outstanding performance while remaining affordable for the average amateur builder. To that end four clear design goals emerged:

1. Generous Margins for Safety and Strength

2. Simplicity of Systems for Quick Easy Construction

3. High Performance per HP

4. Excellent Flying Qualities

Safety & Strength ....

The structure of the Lightning was tested extensively for symmetrical and asymmetrical flight loads to over 9 G at a gross weight of 1320 lbs. Torsional testing of the fuselage and tail, load testing of welded parts round out the strength testing profile.

Ballistic Recovery Systems Inc was brought in to help design a safe, strong recovery system for the Lightning. Our fiberglass craftsmen were able to hide the installation inside the molded skins so the good looks of the Lightning would not be changed.

Simplicity ....

Through a novel mix of molded fiberglass components and welded 4130 steel structures, Arion's team was able to engineer a construction method where no epoxy layups are needed to complete the kit. Just open the box, trim and fit the parts, complete some final fabrication of the parts and bolt the plane together. Top quality aircraft grade hardware is used throughout.

Performance....

The Lightning cruises at 175 mph on 120 hp, burning 5.5 gallons per hour. Solo climb rates settle in at 1700 fpm. Roll rates exceed 45 degrees/second. Top speed is 190 mph. Need we say more...?

Flying ....

Quick to respond, eager to turn, anxious to accelerate ... this airplane exhibits the strength, speed, and agility of its namesake; Arion, the immortal horse of Hercules. Yet control is stable, light, and intuitive. Just "think" a maneuver and it just seems to happen. In the pattern Lightning slows unbelievably well to a touchdown speed under 50 mph. Slow speed handling in the pattern is solid. It's a cool cat in the pattern but that Tiger's heart is ready to roar.

But that's not all because, with the history behind the ATEC Zephyr, you have peace of mind.

Developed in collaboration with renowned Czech aircraft designer, Oldrich Olsansky, the ATEC Zephyr Sport Pilot airplane has an impeccable safety record since its debut over six years ago. With over 110 units plying the skies of Australia, Europe and North America, the plane is thoroughly proven and exceptional from a reliability and economic standpoint.

What's more, buyers have two paths to choose from when it comes to buying one. Sport Pilot, Amateur-built (Experimental in the U.S.) or Ultralight (Canada only; Advanced Ultralight pending). By opting for the first category, operators can enjoy all of the benefits of a fully-certified aircraft minus outrageous acquisition, operating and maintenance costs. Moreover, they can even train student pilots in a flying club environment. For those who no longer qualify for the standard aviation medical, the Ultralight and Sport Pilot categories less restrictive requirements may be the answer. Either way, one thing's sure. With an ATEC Zephyr, you no longer have to sacrifice performance and flexibility for affordability.

The MTOW is 472.5 kg in the European ultralight version and in US the LSA version of the Zephyr allows 550 kg. The LSA Zephyr is called Zephyr 2550. Text from: http://www.atecaviation.com/

321 Faeta

Aircraft information:
The ATEC 321 FAETA is an aerodynamically refined cantilever low-winged all composit aircraft with a high content of carbon fibre. The ultralight modification is a basic one of the project series of very light sport planes of a derived design. Swift and manoeuvrable aircraft providing over standard comfort for a two-person crew and a safe sensation in the spacious cockpit. The low-weight but rigid airframe makes possibility equipe aircraft with a high-speed parachute rescue system without a drastic loss of payload. The adequate wing area together with an efficient slotted flap give the plane be able fly with an extremely low speed.

The WING is a reinforced shell of a carbon-fibre sandwich. The tapered backswept wing of a SM 701 airfoil along the all span. The all composite main wing spar is equipped with carbon flanges designed for a high safety factor. The high efficient slotted flap has been developed using latest methods of computer design engineering. All external details of wing like flap hinges, slots, Pitot tube attachement, wing tips have been shaped with respect for minimum air drag.

The FUSELAGE is a carbon-fibre shell braced by multi-layer wooden bulkheads. The cross-section is elliptic with pure wing fillets and a spacious cabin. The hinged perspex canopy can swing upwards and backwards. The engine which is in the front part of the fuselage is separated by the firewall, to which the engine bearer attachment and the steerable nosewheel are attached.

The TAIL UNIT all composite arranged in T-shape. The tapered horizontal tail surface with an elevator is constructed in a way similar to that of a wing. The tapered vertical tail surface is a monolithic part of the fuselage shell. The rudder suspended from the last fuselage bulkhead is completely of composites.

The LANDING GEAR is a fixed three-wheeled construction with a steerable nose wheel. The main gear is constructed as a pair of leaf springs of composites. The front leg is made of composites and metal tubes. The main wheels are equipped with disc brakes. The size of main tyres: 350x120 mm, while that of front tyre is 300x100 mm. All wheels have aerodynamic fairing.

The CONTROL. Dual control of all the rudders. The ailerons, flaps and elevator are controlled through the control rods and levers, the rudder through the steel wire ropes. All the control attachments are situated within the airframe. The important checking points in the wings are equipped with inspection holes with a perspex covering.

The ENGINE of standard option is ROTAX 912 UL 80 HP or ROTAX 912 SUL 100 HP that drives a FITI three or two blade propeller ground adjustable. The engine bed attachment is welded of the first-rate-quality CrMo steel tubes.

The FUEL SYSTEM consists of the fuel tank integrated in the fuselage and the piping connection equipped with a sediment bowl and a drain plug. The pressure of the fuel is measured by a fuel-pressure gauge.

The ISTRUMENTATION consists of basic flight, engine and navigation checking instruments. The static and dynamic pressure is taken from the Pitot tube attached below the port wing.

FK12 Comet

Aircraft information:
The FK12 Comet is an ultra-light two-seat aerobatic bi-plane with an attractive durable design using modern materials.

It has good flight performance with optimised laminar flow wings with 4full length ailerons (flaperons) making it highly agile with a good view.

Due to space saving design, the wings fold down in a few minutes giving it a width of only 2.42m when the wings are folded.

Despite the classical looks, this aeroplane can travel long distances at speeds of up to 200kmh; engines used are Rotax 912 or 912S of 80-100hp making this aeroplane sporting and fun.

FK 9 Mk IV Utility

Aircraft information:
Mercedes engine in serial aircraft Fk-Lightplanes is the first manufacturer to offer this engine system in a serial aircraft. For this purpose, a special model, the FK9 Smart was created. This design is not just an FK9 fitted with a Mercedes Smart engine. It is rathermore a complete package embodying its own special philosophy and technology and echoing in this respect the idea of the smart automobile. This concept uses the lightweight FK9 Utility airframe, with more sophisticated paintwork and furnishings than the basic version. The streamlined technology implemented includes practical systems and instruments; superfluous details have been deliberately excluded. Configuration and equipment are serial installations but the plane comes ready to "fly away"! This allows a serial price that is wide below a similarly equipped Rotax FK9. All this, not to forget the significantly lower fuel consumption and much less expensive maintenance. After all - it's "smart"...
