The Eurofox is a factory-built, two-seat aircraft manufactured by Aeropro in Slovakia. Since 1990, Aeropro has produced over 700 aircraft that are now flying around the world. With its modern design and excellent performance, the Eurofox is built using the finest materials and craftsmanship to create an aircraft of the highest quality.
It’s a true aircraft in every respect. It’s a joy to fly and own, offering extreme comfort and responsive, coordinated controls that fully immerse the pilot in the pleasure of flight. Thanks to its class-leading visibility, the Eurofox provides a tremendous sense of agility and satisfaction for both 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, specifications, payload, and performance that cannot be matched by its direct competitors.
With the widest undercarriage in its class, constructed of robust GRP, the aircraft’s durability has been proven over decades with almost half a million landings. The EuroFOX is a really fun and engaging aircraft capable of operating from the shortest and roughest strips while efficiently cruising at 100 knots.

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. Eurofox 2K is a taildragger type with controlled tail wheel and are equipped by the Beringer dual toe brake system.
Eurofox 3K a tricycle undercarriage with a controllable nose wheel. Eurofox 3K has a composite main landing gear and has wide-spaced main wheels to aid with cross-wind landings and takeoffs and chromoly metal tube front leg. Main gear are equipped by the hydraulic disk brakes operated from the left and right seat. A parking brake is optional.
Eurofox floats features a metal floats from FLOATS.CZ company. Floats are made from anticorrosive 6061T6 aluminium alloy sheets. On the top and side skins of floats are used solid rivets, closed blind rivets on bottoms. Floats are water sealed by polyurethan mastic. Each float is separated into waterproofed sections (6 or 7, depends on design), so if there is any leackage or damage, water will not penetrate into other sections. On the front each float has fiberglass aerodynamical cover, which can be changed if damaged. On the back side are installed water rudders, that help to control aircraft movement on water. Delivered set includes 2 floats with rudder installed on each of them.
The EuroFOX is a strong performer, able to tow gliders up to 800 kg and even high-performance gliders with a wing loading over 50 kg/m². It can tow everything from a Nimbus 3DT to a JS1, as well as all two-seaters and vintage gliders.
The aircraft is very economical to own and operate, with proven capability, reliability, and excellent tug performance. Its annual maintenance costs are also very low.
The EuroFOX has been aerotowing worldwide for a decade, with most sites being difficult grass airstrips. The EuroFOX can be specified as a tail dragger or nosewheel aircraft. For the majority of EU gliding sites, which are unpaved grass strips that are often boggy and sometimes short, only the EuroFOX tail dragger with tundra tires will suffice.
The EuroFOX’s wing-fold is a standard and central feature of the aircraft, so there’s no wear and tear. It’s designed to have the wings folded on a daily basis if needed. A single person can open or fold the wings single-handedly in less than 10 minutes, with no tricks, heavy lifting, or extra help required.
Our wing-fold was designed as an integral part of the aircraft from the outset, not as an afterthought like so many others. All EuroFOX aircraft are always kept with their wings folded, and they have been for many years, with no problems after hundreds of daily folds and unfolds.
The wing, of a rectangular platform and with its own aerofoil section, has a frame structure with two main spar tubes, a system of diagonal struts, and a system of ribs. Al-alloy tubes with a 63 mm diameter are reinforced in the hinge regions by tubes of corresponding diameter. A system of 14 ribs and 11 auxiliary ribs supports the fabric skin in the front wing area. In the horizontal plane, the wing is braced by a system of diagonal steel spar tubes.
The wing is covered by synthetic fabric, POLY-FIBER, with an applied stretching lacquer and is sprayed with a first-rate exterior enamel. Flaperons (Junkers flaps) are attached through five hinges to the ribs under the wing’s trailing edge. The flaperon structure consists of an Al-alloy tube and a laminate sandwich (foam, epoxy resin, glass) formed in a negative mold. Both wings are attached to the fuselage in the upper part through the main tube hinges and in the bottom part by the hinges of the V‑shaped wing struts. The system of common rear wing hinges and tilt truss axes allows the wing to tilt along the rear part of the fuselage. This saves a lot of storage space and allows for road transport.
The fuselage is designed to provide maximum strength, pilot and passenger comfort, and ease of construction. The canopy frame and engine attach points are enveloped in a high-strength, 4130 Chromoly cage—the same steel used to manufacture rifle barrels—providing an additional layer of security and safety.
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.
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. Moving of rudder pedals is transmitted on the rudder through steel cable. Wing flaps – handle of wing flaps is situated in middle part of cockpit.
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.
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 2×40 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.
