2023 Aeropro Eurofox

Airframe

The fuselage is designed to provide maximum strength, pilot passenger comfort, 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 safety.

Wing of rectangular platform with its own aerofoil section is of frame structure with two spar tubes the system of diagonal struts system of ribs. Al-alloy tubes of 63 mm diameter are reinforced in the hinges regions by tubes of corresponding diameter. A system of ribs consists of 14 ribs 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 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 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 in the bottom part by the hinges of the “V” ‑shaped wing struts. The system of common rear wing hinge tilt truss axes allows the wing to tilt along the fuselage rear part. This saves a lot of storage place allows the road transport.

Cockpit

Eurofox has roomy cockpit 112cm — wider than a Cessna 172! Our instrument panel is special in that it allows the use of almost any large-screen GPS (including the iPad or iPad mini!), while most (virtually all) other S‑LSA planes have instrument panels that have sort of boxed themselves in don’t have room (at least not in the best spot) for a large-screen GPS panel has a large map pocket. You can access to the luggage area while flying (many planes have luggage compartments that cannot be accessed while inflight).

Is designed for maximum 10 kg. Eurofox has clear polycarbonate gull-wing doors equipped with gas-lift struts with doors quick-removable (for flying without doors!).

The aeroplane is equipped by dual stick control. Elevator ailerons are controlled by a system of rods whereas the rudder is cable controlled. The wing flaps are controlled by the lever rod 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 accumulator 12V / 16Ah. Board network is switched by a switch key of switch box. Individual circuits of appliances are switched by separate switches protected by a safety limit switch.
