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.

POWERPLANT

 

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.

History

Aero­pro, the man­u­fac­tur­er of the Euro­FOX, was formed in the late 80’s fol­low­ing the “peace­ful” rev­o­lu­tion and the divi­sion of Czech and Slo­va­kia. With no more influ­ence from the Sovi­et Union, 4 uni­ver­si­ty grad­u­ates were able to turn their pas­sion for aero mod­el­ing into full size air­craft design and pro­duc­tion.

This same lean man­age­ment struc­ture exists today, with suc­ces­sion plan­ning in place as the next gen­er­a­tion start to enter the busi­ness. Dur­ing it’s 30-year exis­tence, the com­pa­ny main­tains the sta­tus of a small fam­i­ly com­pa­ny with 25 employ­ees.
