The Aero-Kros MP-02 Czajka (English: Lapwing) is a Polish ultralight aircraft designed and developed by Aero-Kros of Krosno, introduced at the Aero show held in Friedrichshafen in 2009. The aircraft is supplied ready-to-fly. [1] [2]
Since March 2017 the design has been built by HMS Aviation, which is also located in Krosno, Poland. [3]
The Czajka was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules and US light-sport aircraft rules. It features a cantilever high-wing, a two seats in side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit, tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration. [1] [2]
The aircraft is made from carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer. Its 9.72 m (31.9 ft) span wing employs Fowler flaps to keep the stall speed low enough for the FAI microlight category. The standard engine provided is the 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS four-stroke powerplant which gives a cruise speed of 230 km/h (143 mph). The cockpit is 1.215 m (48 in) wide. [1] [2]
