CZECH ULTRALIGHT AIRCRAFT PRODUCER

Specializing in a the production and development of all-metal ultralight aircraft for more than decade. Currently producing ALTO NG, ultralight low wing plane, and a new all-metal high wing STOL CRUISER.

ALTO NG = reliable, untricky and original aircraft, with a great view, pleasant piloting and low operating costs. The aircraft is certified in Germany, Poland, France, Belgium, Turkey, USA and Canada. More than 200 ALTO aircraft are currently flying in various countries around the world.

The advantages of ALTO lie in its simple and comfortable piloting, which is guaranteed by the design of the wing. The rectangular wing plan and the profile with a blunt leading edge provide predictable stall characteristics and behaviour. The wing is a semi-monocoque structure and is equipped with built-in tanks with a capacity of 92 litres of fuel.

The rear of the fuselage is designed with a rectangular cross section with an oval upper surface. The stiffness of the structure is secured by diagonal webs. The wing-fuse link is conceived as the interconnection of the wing beams with the center plane of the airplane by means of flanged bolts.

The horizontal and vertical tail surfaces are of a traditional arrangement. They are made as a riveted structure with composite end arcs.

Flight control transmission from the “stick” is realized by means of rods and cables. Directional steering of the front landing gear leg is coupled with pedals for changing the aircraft direction. The brakes are hydraulically controlled by a lever located on the center panel.

The landing gear is designed as three-wheel, with front steering wheel. The main wheels are fixed to the fuselage on flexible laminate legs.

Access to the cockpit is secured by means of footpaths located at the trailing edge of the wing. The spacious, 110 cm wide cockpit provides plenty of room for comfortable control of the aircraft. The cockpit roof slides forward and it is mounted on rails.
