EUROFOX

OVERVIEW

The Eurofox are factory-built two-seat aircraft manufactured by Aeropro in Slovakia. Aeropro has been producing aircraft since 1990 with now over 700 aircraft now flying around the world. The Eurofox has modern designs with excellent performance and features — built with the finest workmanship and materials resulting in a completed aircraft of the highest quality.

The EuroFOX is a real aircraft in every respect. It is joy to fly and own, extremely comfortable with responsive, coordinated controls which immerse the pilot in the pleasure of flight. With class leading visibility, the EuroFOX provides true agility and tremendous satisfaction for the pilot and passenger.

Available with the world’s leading aero engine for all LSA aircraft, the Rotax 912 series. The aircraft is a high wing STOL aircraft with class leading handling, specification, payload and performance that cannot be matched by its direct competitors. Having the widest undercarriage in class, constructed in robust GRP, the aircraft is proven over decades with almost half a million landings. The EuroFOX is a real fun and engaging aircraft capable of operating from the shortest and roughest strips, whilst efficiently cruising at 100 knots.

WING
Wing of rectangular platform with its own aerofoil section is of frame structure with two spar tubes and the system of diagonal struts and system of ribs. Al-alloy tubes of 63 mm diemater are reinforced in the hinges regions by tubes of corresponding diameter. A system of ribs consists of 14 ribs and of 13 aux. ribs supporting the fabric skin in the front wing area. In the horizontal plane the wing is braced by a system of diagonal steel spar tube.

The wing is covered by synthetic fabric POLY FIBER, with applied stretching lacquer and sprayed by a first-rate exterior enamel. flaperons (Junkers flap) are attached through five hinges to the ribs under the wing trailing edge. The flapperon structure consists of Al-alloy tube and laminate sandwich (foam, epoxy resin, glass) formed in a negative mould. Both wings are attached to the fuselage in the upper part through the main tube hinges and in the bottoom part by the hinges of the “V” ‑shaped wing struts. The system of common rear wing hinge and tilt truss axes allows the wing to tilt along the fuselage rear part. This saves a lot of storage place and allows the road transport.

FUSELAGE
The fuselage is designed to provide maximum strength, pilot and passenger comfort, and ease of construction. The canopy frame, engine attach points is enveloped in a high-strength, 4130 Chromoly cage — the same steel used to manufacture rifle barrels — providing an additional layer of security and safety.

Cockpit

Eurofox has roomy cockpit 112cm — wider than a Cessna 172!

The aircraft has two upholstered side-by-side. Each is equipped with four-point seatbelt. Luggage compartment with dimension 500 x 300 x 400 mm is situated behind the seats. Is designed for maximum 10 kg. Eurofox has clear polycarbonate gull-wing doors equipped with gas-lift struts and with doors quick-removable (for flying without doors!)

Powerplant

Choose your favourite engine.

The EuroFOX is a traditional aircraft and our philosophy on engine choices is quite simple – stick with proven tried and tested engines, with known performance, reliability and service history. Therefore, the EuroFOX has dedicated its engine choices to the market leading 4 stroke “Rotax” range of aircraft engines, all with simple maintenance schedules. Rotax engines have a 2000 hour TBO, with the ability to “run on condition” thereafter, with many examples lasting over 4000 hours.
