Eurofox

Available as UL factory built or EXPERIMENTAL as a quick build kit.

Overview

The Eurofox are factory-built two-seat aircraft manufactured by Aeropro in Slovakia. Aeropro has been producing aircraft since 1990 with now over 600 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 Euro 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.

  • Fuel capacity (L) 86
  • Economical speed Vek (km/h) 160
  • Min. speed (km/h) 65
  • Max. Speed (km/h) 208
  • Over 600 Eurofoxes built

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.

Powerplant

The Eurofox in it’s standard configuration is powered by Rotax engines 912 ULS 100hp, 912 UL 80hp, 912iS, 915iS and 914 UL. There si also possibilties to install 912STi 154hp 182NM upgrade from Edge performance.

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 2×25,5 l fuel tanks are housed in the wing root part. Tanks are welded from Al-alloy sheet. The leading edge shape is guaranteed by a fiberglass part bonded in front of the spar tube. The trailing edge is fitted with an Al-alloy shaped batten. 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.

Electric system

Electric system is formed single-wire system of cabling with ground connection negative pole. Network supplies alternator with rectifier with 250W power and accumulator 12V / 16Ah. Board network is switched by a switch key of switch box. Individual circuits of appliances are switched by separate switches and protected by a safety limit switch.

Cockpit

Eurofox has roomy cockpit 112cm — wider than a Cessna 172!  Our instrument panel is special in that it allows the use of almost any large-screen GPS (including the iPad or iPad mini!), while most (virtually all) other S‑LSA planes have instrument panels that have sort of boxed themselves in and don’t have room (at least not in the best spot) for a large-screen GPS and panel has a large map pocket. You can access to the luggage area while flying (many planes have luggage compartments that cannot be accessed while inflight).

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!)

Fuel system

Fuel system has a total capacity of 86 l. It consists of two wing tanks (40 l each) and of an 5 l equalizing tank in the fuselage, connected through the pipes with the fuel cock and filter. Fuel level indicators are part of each tank, the minimim fuel warning light is mounted as standard.

Control of the aeroplane

The aeroplane is equipped by dual stick control. Elevator and ailerons are controlled by a system of rods whereas the rudder is cable controlled. The wing flaps are controlled by the lever and rod and through the countershaft is threaded into aileron-flapperon circuit. Trim control is mounted as a standard. All engine controls are placed on the instrument board. Rudder control – pedals of foot control are situated on the floor in front part of cockpit. Moving of pedals is transmitted on the rudder through steel cable. Wing flaps – handle of wing flaps is situated in middle part of cockpit.

Eurofox 2K Version

Eurofox 2K taildragger features a composite main landing gear and has wide-spaced main wheels to aid with cross-wind landings and takeoffs, as well as resulting in superior ground handling. As taildraggers go, the forward visibility is very good and with the Eurofox 2K having clear polycarbonate doors the visibility out the side of the aircraft is exceptional.

 

EuroFOX 2K is a taildragger type with controlled tail wheel and are equipped by the premium Beringer dual toe brake system operated from the left and right seat and is available with several tire options.

 

standard-size rib tires (15x6x6) with wheel pants
Carlisle tundra tires (18x8x6)
Aero Classic tundra tires (21×8.00×6)
Airstreak 26″ tundra tires (26x12x6)

EuroFOX 3K Version

EuroFOX 3K a fixed tricycle undercarriage with a controllable nose wheel.This wheel is equipped by the tire with dimension 4.00–4 with tube. Main undercarriage carry low-presure tires with the dimensions 15×6.00–6 with tube (or 14×4 /4.00–6/) and are equipped by the hydraulic disk brakes operated from the left and right seat. A parking brake is optional.

The EuroFOX has been aerotowing in world for a decade, most sites being difficult grass airstrips. The EuroFOX can be specified as a tail dragger or nose wheel, and with the majority of EU gliding sites being unpaven grass strips, often boggy, sometimes short in length, only the EuroFOX tail dragger with tundra tyres will do.

In the last 2 years G‑MOYR has flown 830 hours to date, done 4200 aerotows, and 4300 landings. The aircraft is in remarkably good order, flies superbly, and the retract winch has performed faultlessly.

It is a fact of life that others will try to follow a successful, innovative and market leading product. However, gliding clubs choose future tugs based on performance, suitability, value, usability, durability and pilot safety: in all these aspects and more, the EuroFOX is unrivalled as a dedicated liquid cooled Rotax 912 or 915 tug.

 

 

 

The EuroFOX “wingfold” is just that, wing fold…… one person can open or fold the wings, single handedly in less than 10 minutes, no tricks, no heavy lifting or any extra hands needed. The EuroFOX wingfold was designed from the outset and an integral part of the aircraft, not an afterthought as so many other “wingfold” claims are.

 

The EuroFOX wingfold is a standard and central feature of the aircraft, there is no wear and tear, it is designed to have the wings folded on a daily basis if that is required. All the EuroFOX aviation aircraft are always kept with wings folded, and they have been so for many years, no problems at all after many hundreds of daily “fold and unfolds”.

fox render folded

only one person, only 10 minutes, to fold our wings!
our planes are easily trailerable or can be stored in relatively small spaces
our planes will fit into an enclosed trailer (while some planes with folding wings are too wide to fit into an enclosed trailer)
our planes give the option of using an enclosed trailer as portable hangar
with hangar space being unavailable or ridiculously expensive in many parts of the world, our truly transportable aircraft has a great advantage over almost all other planes
