The Aeroprakt A-26 Vulcan is a lightweight twin-engine airplane that evolved from the modified single-engine Aeroprakt A-20. Certain units imported into the United States carry the designation Spectrum Aircraft SA-26 Vulcan.
Design and development
Compared to its single-engine predecessor, the A-20, the A-26 features wings with an additional sweep angle of 3°. It is equipped with two Rotax 503 engines, later upgraded to Rotax 582, arranged in a pusher configuration.
Operational history
A prototype of the A-26 was showcased at the 2000 Experimental Aircraft Association AirVenture event held in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. Versions brought into the American market were imported by Spectrum Aircraft.
Variants
The Aeroprakt A-36 Vulcan represents an enhanced, factory-manufactured twin-engine aircraft powered by the Rotax 912S engine.
