Design and development
Derived from the previous Aeros-1 design, the Aeros-2 incorporates a cable-supported, hang glider-style high wing with weight-shift controls. It features an open cockpit with tandem seating for two, tricycle landing gear, and a single engine arranged in a pusher configuration.[1][2]
Constructed from square-section tubing, its wing is covered with Dacron sailcloth. The wing spans 10 metres (33 ft) and is supported by a single tube-type kingpost, utilizing an "A" frame control bar for maneuvering. The occupants sit within an aerodynamically shaped fibreglass cockpit fairing. Engine options include the twin-cylinder, liquid-cooled, two-stroke 64 horsepower (48 kW) Rotax 582, as well as the four-cylinder four-stroke 80 horsepower (60 kW) Rotax 912UL and 100 horsepower (75 kW) 912ULS. Additionally, engine mounts are offered for both BMW and Subaru powerplants. Compatible wings for this carriage include the Aeros Profi, Aeros Stranger, Aeros Stream, and Aeros Still. The wing attachment features a foldable pylon, enabling one person to mount the wing independently. Optional equipment such as floats and ski landing gear can be fitted.[1][2]
