OUR AIRCRAFT

Maximum fun of flying at a ratio between price and performance.
An innovative, modern two-seater microlight aircraft sets the standards. The classic advantages of the ultralight and the standard aircraft categories are combined to produce a fascinating, technically matured machine. The IKARUS C42 is thus able to fulfil expectations which were incompatible in the past: standard aircraft comfort for the price of an ultralight. Convincing flight characteristics, safe handling and minimal parking space needed because of wings easy to remove.
The C42 will also convince you.
Try it out.
