The Aeroprakt A-36 Vulcan is a light aircraft originating from Ukraine, designed and manufactured by the Kyiv-based company Aeroprakt. This model is offered as a fully assembled, ready-to-fly airplane.

Design and development

Derived from the Aeroprakt A-26 Vulcan, the A-36 was engineered with specific objectives such as functioning effectively over challenging terrain, maintaining capability to take off and land using only one engine, and operating from short airstrips. Its configuration includes a strut-braced high-wing, a T-tail, an enclosed cockpit with two seats arranged in tandem, fixed conventional landing gear equipped with wheel pants, and twin engines arranged in a pusher configuration.

The construction of the aircraft combines various materials: the forward fuselage is built from fibreglass, while the tail cone utilizes aluminium sheet. Both wings and tail surfaces are made from aluminium, whereas components such as the main landing gear legs, engine cowlings, and fairings are fabricated from fibreglass. The wing spans 11.4 m (37.4 ft) with a surface area of 15.7 m² (169 sq ft) and incorporates flaps. Power is typically provided by two 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912S four-stroke engines.

The empty weight of the A-36 stands at approximately 450 kg (990 lb), with a maximum takeoff weight of 750 kg (1,650 lb), resulting in a useful load capacity of around 300 kg (660 lb).

Operational history

As of December 2012, a single unit had been officially registered with the Federal Aviation Administration in the United States. This particular aircraft was previously showcased at the Sun 'n Fun aviation event held in Lakeland, Florida, in April 2009.
