Foldable Wings
The structure of the wing is made of Al-Alloy, with three main spars through the entire length of the wing. Aluminum tube struts are placed in a diagonal pattern in between the spars. Ultralight ribs provide the final airfoil profile. The skin is made of synthetic fabric designed for aviation, making the wings light and durable.
The main spar was specially design for this aircraft, with an internal webbing that reinforces it structure, this allows to reduce the diameter of the spar and consecuently the total weight of the wing.
The leading edge is Al-Alloy reinforced, and the wing insert & tip are made of composite material.
Wings are attached to the fuselage at two points; in the upper part through the rear spar hinge, and at the lower part by a hinge connected to the wing struts. The system allows the wing to tilt along the fuselage. This folding wing design is very practical and significantly reduces the cost per hour of flight. Once you finish flying, you can take your plane home. Once folded, it fits in a closed trailer. No need to rent a hangar. Our clever design allows you to fold the wings within few minutes without tools and without disconnecting any fuel lines or controls.
Fuselage
The fuselage on the Aeropup MK IV is a Cr-Mo steel alloy welded tube cage, as is used in F1 cars. Each tube on the fuselage is CNC laser cut. As a result, all tubes have a perfect fit . This tight fit reduced to microns the space in between tubes, eliminating any gaps or weak points once they are welded together. In aviation, precision translates into a lighter and stronger fuselage. Aeropup design is one of the lightest fuselage in LSA category.
We went one-step further re-designing the cabin; we re-distributed the loads, minimizing the number of pillars to avoid any disturbance on your visibility.
Cockpit
The cockpit is very comfortable and spacious; it was designed by a 215 cm pilot! with 107 cm of width and the 95cm of height, easely accommodates two people with plenty of leg room as rudder pedals are totally adjustable. The pillars from the fuselage cage were design to maximize your visibility, the addition of a polycarbonate turtle deck provides a 360º of view. You will find yourself suspended in the air surrounded by the landscape. The instrument panel is a blank canvas to match every pilot preference. From the reliable and robust analogic gauges to the latest digital touch-screens flight computers, everything can be fitted.
