Why Eurofox?
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.

Aeropro aircraft since 1990
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.
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.
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.
The EuroFOX “wingfold” is just that, wing fold…… one person can open or fold the wings, single handedly in less than 5 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.
Undercarriage
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 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.
