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.

Tow version

Euro­FOX is a strong per­former, able to tow glid­ers up to 800 kgs and also per­for­mance glid­ers with a wing load­ing over 50 kg/m2. From a Nim­bus 3DT to a JS1, all club two seaters and vin­tage in between…..

The air­craft is very eco­nom­i­cal to own and run, with proven capa­bil­i­ty and reli­a­bil­i­ty, fru­gal annu­al main­te­nance costs with excel­lent tug per­for­mance.

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. ”

Folding wings

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. 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.

Our wing­fold was designed from the out­set and an inte­gral part of the air­craft, not an after­thought as so many oth­er “wing­fold” claims are. All the Euro­FOX 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”.

Construction

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 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.

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.

Cockpit

 

Eurofox has roomy cockpit 112cm — wider than a Cessna 172!
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!)

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.

Fuselage

4130 Chromoly cage

 

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.

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.

Controls

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.

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.

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.
