Aeroprakt A22L2 Foxbat
The A22L2 is the lightest member of the Foxbat family, primarily designed for the 450kg MTOW European market. Powered by the 4-stroke liquid-cooled Rotax 912ULS 100 hp engine, it is perfect for recreational use and for the sport pilot who often flies on their own for sheer flying enjoyment.
It has a legal carrying capacity of around 190 kilos, this weight has to include the pilot, passenger/co-pilot, fuel and baggage.
In such a light aircraft with 100 hp to play with, you get very sprightly take-off performance! The record short take-off in still air by an experienced pilot in an A22L2 is about 30 metres!
