<p>
	The Aero &amp; Tech Nexth (or sometimes Next-H) is an Italian ultralight aircraft designed by Morelli Luca and produced by Aero &amp; Tech of Fossato di Vico. Introduced at the Aero show held in Friedrichshafen in 2011, the aircraft is intended to be supplied as a complete ready-to-fly aircraft.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	The Nexth complies with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules. A later version will comply with US light-sport aircraft rules.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	The design features a cantilever mid-wing, two seats in side-by-side configuration, retractable tricycle landing gear made from titanium and a single 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS four cylinder, liquid and air-cooled, four stroke engine in tractor configuration. Cockpit access is by two gull wing doors hinged at the top. The aircraft was designed to meet aerobatic category requirements, including +9 and -4.5 g.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	The aircraft fuselage is an aluminum sheet covered steel space frame, based on Formula One racing construction techniques. Its 7.90 m (25.9 ft) span wing employs winglets and flaps. Fuel is carried in a single fuselage tank and totals 130 litres (29 imp gal; 34 US gal), giving a range of over 1,700 km (1,056 mi).
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Marino Boric, writing in the World Directory of Leisure Aviation notes that the Nexth fuselage is an unusual multi-faceted shape reminiscent of stealth fighter design. The prototype was painted black, which adds to the resemblance.

<p>The aircraft are high-wing flying boats of pusher configuration available in both single and two-seat models. Its design heritage stretches back to the Advanced Aeromarine Buccaneer amphibian ultralights.</p><p> </p><p>
Introduced in 1995, the single-seat Aventura has repositionable main landing gear, down for runways and up for landing on water. The steerable tail wheel is retractable in concert with the repositioning of the main gear. There is no water rudder. The wing is an aluminium frame covered with pre-sewn Dacron envelopes. The hull is constructed from fibreglass and the wingtip floats are polyethylene. The remainder of the structure is anodized aluminium tubing, bolted together. Controls are conventional three-axis, with full span ailerons and no flaps. The company claims that the fast-build kit can be constructed in 90 hours.</p><p> </p><p>
The two-seat Aventura II was introduced in 1996 and is similar to the single seater, but with a wider cabin and hull for two occupants in side-by-side configuration. The two-seater also features flaps to reduce landing speeds. The company claims 130 hours to build the two-seater from the kit.</p><p> </p><p>

<p>When it was available the Pulsar was supplied as a ready-to-fly aircraft and as a kitplane for amateur construction.</p><p> </p><p>
The aircraft was later produced by Skystar Aircraft of Nampa, Idaho and then by Pulsar Aircraft of El Monte, California. Each subsequent manufacturer introduced new variants.</p><p> </p><p>
The Pulsar was a development of the Star-Lite Aircraft Star Lite and features a cantilever low-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration open cockpit under a bubble canopy, fixed tricycle landing gear or optionally conventional landing gear with wheel pants and a single engine in tractor configuration.</p><p> </p><p>
In March 2014 130 examples were registered in the United States with the Federal Aviation Administration, although a total of 195 had been registered at one time. In March 2014 five were registered with Transport Canada and 29 with the CAA in the United Kingdom.</p><p> </p><p>

<p>
	The Aero Synergie J300 Joker is a French ultralight aircraft that was designed and produced by Sauper/ALMS and later by Aero Synergie.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	The aircraft was supplied as a kit for amateur construction and also as a complete ready-to-fly aircraft.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	The aircraft was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules. It features a strut-braced high-wing, a two seats in side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit, tricycle landing gear or conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	The aircraft is made from welded steel tubing, covered in doped aircraft fabric. Its 9.04 m (29.7 ft) span wing employs dual parallel struts. The standard engine fitted is the 80 hp (60 kW) Rotax 912UL four-stroke powerplant, with the 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS optional.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Originally produced by Sauper/ALMS the design was later manufactured by Aero Synergie. Production was halted circa 2011, although parts were still available in 2012.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Popular in Europe and Africa as a trainer, it also found use as a personal aircraft due to its simple construction and ease of handling.

	Since March 2017 the design has been built by HMS Aviation, which is also located in Krosno, Poland.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	The Czajka was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules and US light-sport aircraft rules. It features a cantilever high-wing, a two seats in side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit, tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.
</p>

<p>

<p>The aircraft's model number indicates that it was designed to comply with the Federal Aviation Administration FAR 103 ultralight rules.</p><p> </p><p>
The Aerolite 103 features a high wing with half-span flaps that are extended by use of an overhead bellcrank to a maximum of 40 degrees. The flight controls are three-axis and are actuated by a wheel mounted on a control column via flexible push-pull cables and conventional rudder pedals connected to the rudder by cables. The engine throttle is a twist-grip type and incorporates a brake lever to operate the non-differential mechanical drum brakes installed on the main wheels of the tricycle landing gear.</p><p> </p><p>
The aircraft has conventional nose wheel steering connected to the rudder pedals. The main landing gear utilizes sprung-tubes for suspension and absorbing landing loads. There is a fourth small caster-wheel under the tail, because when the pilot's seat is unoccupied the aircraft rests on its tail, due to the aircraft's empty center of gravity.</p><p> </p><p>
The Aerolite 103 is sold as an assembly kit aircraft. The kit includes an illustrated assembly manual and pre-built fuselage, wings, control surfaces, jury struts and struts. The wings are covered by the builder with pre-sewn Dacron envelopes. The company estimates the time to complete the airframe at 60–80 hours. The kit does not include powerplant, propeller or instruments.</p><p><a class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image" href="https://www.aircraftpilots.com/uploads/monthly_2020_09/aerolite103salmon.jpg.1edd013f35e13939c72ff1586f1b6261.jpg" data-fileid="45402" data-fileext="jpg" rel=""><img data-fileid="45402" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt="aerolite103salmon.jpg_thumb.1edd013f35e13939c72ff1586f1b6261.jpg" data-src="https://www.aircraftpilots.com/uploads/monthly_2020_09/aerolite103salmon.jpg_thumb.1edd013f35e13939c72ff1586f1b6261.jpg" src="https://www.aircraftpilots.com/uploads/monthly_2020_09/aerolite103salmon.jpg_thumb.1edd013f35e13939c72ff1586f1b6261.jpg"></a></p><p><a class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image" href="https://www.aircraftpilots.com/uploads/monthly_2020_09/AeroliteGreenYellow.jpeg.34360f0b5b57c4e714c222e397240d2a.peg" data-fileid="45403" data-fileext="peg" rel=""><img data-fileid="45403" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt="AeroliteGreenYellow.jpeg_thumb.34360f0b5b57c4e714c222e397240d2a.peg" data-src="https://www.aircraftpilots.com/uploads/monthly_2020_09/AeroliteGreenYellow.jpeg_thumb.34360f0b5b57c4e714c222e397240d2a.peg" src="https://www.aircraftpilots.com/uploads/monthly_2020_09/AeroliteGreenYellow.jpeg_thumb.34360f0b5b57c4e714c222e397240d2a.peg"></a></p><p><a class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image" href="https://www.aircraftpilots.com/uploads/monthly_2020_09/AeroliteN103UF.jpg.b1b2d16c63ff45d6a47e7c320dca4e9a.jpg" data-fileid="45404" data-fileext="jpg" rel=""><img data-fileid="45404" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt="AeroliteN103UF.jpg_thumb.b1b2d16c63ff45d6a47e7c320dca4e9a.jpg" data-src="https://www.aircraftpilots.com/uploads/monthly_2020_09/AeroliteN103UF.jpg_thumb.b1b2d16c63ff45d6a47e7c320dca4e9a.jpg" src="https://www.aircraftpilots.com/uploads/monthly_2020_09/AeroliteN103UF.jpg_thumb.b1b2d16c63ff45d6a47e7c320dca4e9a.jpg"></a></p><p><a class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image" href="https://www.aircraftpilots.com/uploads/monthly_2020_09/aerolite-120-kiwi-green.jpg.594ffb161b73496790d42f9c558a3091.jpg" data-fileid="45405" data-fileext="jpg" rel=""><img data-fileid="45405" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt="aerolite-120-kiwi-green.jpg_thumb.594ffb161b73496790d42f9c558a3091.jpg" data-src="https://www.aircraftpilots.com/uploads/monthly_2020_09/aerolite-120-kiwi-green.jpg_thumb.594ffb161b73496790d42f9c558a3091.jpg" src="https://www.aircraftpilots.com/uploads/monthly_2020_09/aerolite-120-kiwi-green.jpg_thumb.594ffb161b73496790d42f9c558a3091.jpg"></a></p><p><a class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image" href="https://www.aircraftpilots.com/uploads/monthly_2020_09/aeroliteairtoair.jpeg.e51d763715bbf2ba33b712b05e7dbb06.peg" data-fileid="45406" data-fileext="peg" rel=""><img data-fileid="45406" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt="aeroliteairtoair.jpeg_thumb.e51d763715bbf2ba33b712b05e7dbb06.peg" data-src="https://www.aircraftpilots.com/uploads/monthly_2020_09/aeroliteairtoair.jpeg_thumb.e51d763715bbf2ba33b712b05e7dbb06.peg" src="https://www.aircraftpilots.com/uploads/monthly_2020_09/aeroliteairtoair.jpeg_thumb.e51d763715bbf2ba33b712b05e7dbb06.peg"></a></p>

<p>
	The Aerocar Mini-IMP (Independently Made Plane) is a light aircraft designed by Moulton Taylor and marketed for homebuilding by Aerocar International. It is a scaled-down derivative of his original Aerocar IMP design. A two-seat version called the Bullet was also built. The Mini-IMP follows the same unconventional layout as its larger predecessor, with a center mounted engine, long driveshaft to a tail propeller, and inverted-V rudder/elevators.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	The aircraft is available in the form of plans for amateur construction. Following Taylor's death, the plans and licensing for the Mini-IMP have been marketed by the Mini-IMP Aircraft Company of Weatherford, Texas.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	The aircraft features a cantilever high-wing, a single-seat enclosed cockpit, fixed or retractable tricycle landing gear or conventional landing gear and a single engine in pusher configuration.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	The aircraft is made from riveted aluminum sheet. Its 24.5 ft (7.5 m) span wing is mounted well behind the pilot and employs a NASA GA(PC)-1 airfoil. The engine is mounted behind the pilot's seat driving the propeller through an extension shaft. Engines used include the 60 to 100 hp (45 to 75 kW) Volkswagen air-cooled engine four-stroke.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Taylor claimed the Mini-IMP was not an original design, but an updated version of the 1912 Edson Fessenden Gallaudet Bullet, a design that was capable of 110 mph in the earliest days of flight.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	In the late 1970s inquiries were made concerning a military version of the Mini-IMP, skinned with Kevlar, armed with two 7.62-millimeter machine guns, and with room in the baggage compartment for a considerable quantity of ammunition. Nothing came of the proposal.

<p>
	The Aerochia LT-1 is a single place, composite construction, homebuilt aircraft.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	The LT-1 was co-developed by Andy Chiavetta, a composite parts specialist, and air racer, Darryl Greenamyer. The intent was to design a very simple homebuilt aircraft for first-time builders.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	The LT-1 is a single seat, low-wing, composite aircraft with tricycle landing gear. The wing uses an elliptical planform.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	The first flight was performed in May 2010 piloted by Len Fox.

<p><img src="https://www.aircraftpilots.com/uploads/monthly_2024_06/Aeroncac-301.jpg.2f131012bc02fda9858ed403b6a993b6.jpg" /></p>
<p>
	The Aeronca C-3 was a light plane built by the Aeronautical Corporation of America in the United States during the 1930s.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Its design was derived from the Aeronca C-2. Introduced in 1931, it featured room for a passenger seated next to the pilot. Powered by a new 36 hp (27 kW) Aeronca E-113 engine, the seating configuration made flight training much easier and many Aeronca owners often took to the skies with only five hours of instruction, largely because of the C-3's predictable flying characteristics. Both the C-2 and C-3 are often described as “powered gliders” because of their gliding ability and gentle landing speeds.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	The C-3's distinctive razorback design was drastically altered in 1935 with the appearance of the “roundback” C-3 Master. Retaining the tubular fuselage frame construction, the C-3 Master featured a smaller vertical stabilizer and rudder with a “filled out” fuselage shape that created the new “roundback” appearance and improved the airflow over the tail. It featured an enclosed cabin with a proper door (brakes and wing light still cost extra), and a revised undercarriage dispensing with external struts in favour of a neater arrangement largely hidden in the fuselage. The 1935 C-3 Master was priced at only $1,895—just a few hundred dollars more than the primitive C-2 of 1930. The low price generated significant sales; 128 C-3 Masters were built in 1935 alone (of 430 C-3s built in all), and the 500th Aeronca aircraft also rolled off the assembly line that same year.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	A strengthened version of the C-3 with fabric-covered ailerons (instead of metal), designated the Aeronca 100, was built in England under license by Light Aircraft Ltd. (operating as Aeronautical Corporation of Great Britain Ltd. sometimes called Aeronco), and marketed by its associated company Aircraft Exchange &amp; Mart. It was powered by a modified Aeronca E-113C engine built by J. A. Prestwich and Company and called the JAP J-99, and this led to the aircraft being marketed as the Aeronca-JAP. The expected sales never materialized – only 24 British-built aircraft were manufactured before production was halted.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	The aircraft could be fitted with floats, and those so equipped were sometimes designated PC-3, with the P standing for Pontoon.
</p>

<p>
	 
</p>

<p>
	Production of the C-3 was halted in 1937 when the aircraft no longer met new U.S. government standards for airworthiness. Many of the C-3's peculiarities – a strictly external wire-braced wing with no wing struts directly connecting the wing panels with the fuselage, extensive fabric construction, single-ignition engine, and lack of an airspeed indicator – were no longer permitted. Fortunately for the legion of Aeronca owners, a “grandfather” clause in the federal regulations allowed their airplanes to continue flying, although they could no longer be manufactured. A total of 400 were built.

<p>LSA Legend 600 is intended for elementary pilot training of PPL holders, and for traveling. Thanks to low operating costs, it is possible to obtain PPL for the cheapest price possible. Great performance and extra utilizable load allow comfortable and fast traveling. LSA Legend 600 is full-composite upper wing monoplane made of sandwich materials. Thanks to modern composites, the aircraft exhibits low empty weight and thus also high utilizable load.</p><p> </p><p>
Besides the standard light sport LEGEND 600 airplane, the company AEROPILOT Ltd. also manufactures the amphibious LEGEND 600 airplane with floats.</p><p><a class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image" href="https://www.aircraftpilots.com/uploads/monthly_2020_09/2.jpg.acb37eb13869f5656e29c014e448d95c.jpg" data-fileid="43644" data-fileext="jpg" rel=""><img data-fileid="43644" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt="2.jpg_thumb.acb37eb13869f5656e29c014e448d95c.jpg" data-src="https://www.aircraftpilots.com/uploads/monthly_2020_09/2.jpg_thumb.acb37eb13869f5656e29c014e448d95c.jpg" src="https://www.aircraftpilots.com/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></a></p><p><a class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image" href="https://www.aircraftpilots.com/uploads/monthly_2020_09/3.jpg.d7e3a7b86cee460a802ad695c0acb9a7.jpg" data-fileid="43645" data-fileext="jpg" rel=""><img data-fileid="43645" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt="3.jpg_thumb.d7e3a7b86cee460a802ad695c0acb9a7.jpg" data-src="https://www.aircraftpilots.com/uploads/monthly_2020_09/3.jpg_thumb.d7e3a7b86cee460a802ad695c0acb9a7.jpg" src="https://www.aircraftpilots.com/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></a></p><p><a class="ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image" href="https://www.aircraftpilots.com/uploads/monthly_2020_09/4.jpg.45345dbbde4a55801fdcc5638dfa6d87.jpg" data-fileid="43646" data-fileext="jpg" rel=""><img data-fileid="43646" class="ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed" alt="4.jpg_thumb.45345dbbde4a55801fdcc5638dfa6d87.jpg" data-src="https://www.aircraftpilots.com/uploads/monthly_2020_09/4.jpg_thumb.45345dbbde4a55801fdcc5638dfa6d87.jpg" src="https://www.aircraftpilots.com/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></a></p>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">22</guid><pubDate>Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Aeroprakt A-22 Foxbat</title><link>https://www.aircraftpilots.com/aircraft/recreational-3-axis/aeroprakt-a-22-foxbat-r5/</link><description><![CDATA[

<p>In the United States the A-22 is referred to as the Valor, while in the UK and Australia it is called the <em>Foxbat</em>.</p><p> </p><p>
The Aeroprakt A-22 is supplied either as "ready-to-fly" factory built aircraft, or as a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homebuilt_aircraft" rel="external nofollow">kit</a>, consisting of 152 pieces. The kit can be built in about 500 man-hours.</p><p> </p><p>
The A-22 meets the definition of an FAI microlight.</p><p> </p><p>
Aeroprakt of Kiev began design of the A-22 in February 1990, with the first prototype making its maiden flight on 21 October 1996, and a German-certified version entering production in 1999.</p><p> </p><p>
The A-22's structure is almost completely all-metal with only the engine cowling, wing fillets and wheel spats being made of composites. The wings and control surfaces are fabric covered. The aircraft has excellent visibility, due to the large amount of glazing, including convex doors, that allow the occupants to look straight down. The A-22 uses a 3-axis control system, giving the pilot full control over the aircraft. The A-22 uses flaperons in place of ailerons and flaps, giving a stall speed of 52 km/h (32 mph) with the flaperons fully down.</p><p> </p><p>
The kit comes with either the 80 hp (60 kW) Rotax 912UL or optionally the 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS. The 85 hp (63 kW) Jabiru 2200 can also be fitted.</p><p> </p><p>
Originally the A-22 came fitted with a 40-litre inboard fuel tank behind the seats, although later models have wing tanks holding 37.5 litres per side. The propeller is a 3-blade composite ground adjustable KievProp. Dual controls are standard, using a single central "Y" yoke or optionally twin yoke control system.</p><p> </p><p>

	The Viking is a strut-braced high-wing monoplane amphibian. A Rotax 912ULS piston engine driving a tractor propeller is mounted on the leading edge of the wing above the cabin. The enclosed cabin has side-by-side seating with an additional single seat behind, the rear seat can be removed to fit luggage. It has a retractable landing gear with the main wheels moving above the water line on the fuselage side rather than retracting into the fuselage.

	The design uses the same airfoil as the Antonov An-2 biplane, a TsAGI R-11 (14%).
