Our heritage

History

Aero­pro, the man­u­fac­tur­er of the Euro­FOX, was formed in the late 1980s fol­low­ing the “peace­ful” rev­o­lu­tion and the divi­sion of Czecho­slo­va­kia into the Czech Repub­lic and Slo­va­kia. With no more influ­ence from the Sovi­et Union, four uni­ver­si­ty grad­u­ates were able to turn their pas­sion for aero­mod­el­ing into full-size air­craft design and pro­duc­tion.

This same lean man­age­ment struc­ture exists today, with suc­ces­sion plan­ning in place as the next gen­er­a­tion begins to enter the busi­ness. Through­out its 30-year his­to­ry, the com­pa­ny has main­tained its sta­tus as a small fam­i­ly com­pa­ny with 25 employ­ees.

The Euro­FOX qual­i­ty and atten­tion to detail is sec­ond to none. With many great design and engi­neer­ing fea­tures, these remark­able air­craft are pro­duced to a con­sis­tent­ly high qual­i­ty from our pur­pose-built air­craft fac­to­ry.

The devel­op­ment of the “Fox” start­ed back in 1990. The con­cept of the Fox was based on the design of the Avid Fly­er. A num­ber of design refine­ments result­ed in the first Fox, a two-seat (side-by-side), high-wing micro­light home­built plane with a tail­wheel. In 1992, Aero­pro z.p. was found­ed to build the Fox.

After Aero­pro received pro­duc­tion and air­craft repair approvals from the Civ­il Avi­a­tion Author­i­ty of the Slo­vak Repub­lic in 1995, the Fox was renamed Euro­fox for export and mar­ket­ing. In 1996, the com­pa­ny changed its name from Aero­pro z.p. to Aero­pro s.r.o. Since its begin­ning in 1990, the engi­neer­ing team at Aero­pro has been work­ing on the fur­ther devel­op­ment of the Fox.
