Eurofly Flash Light
Role Ultralight aircraft
National origin Italy
Manufacturer Eurofly Srl
Status In production

The Eurofly Flash Light (sometimes styled by the manufacturer as FLASHlight) is an Italian ultralight aircraft, designed and produced by Eurofly Srl, of Galliera Veneta. The aircraft is supplied as a kit for amateur construction or as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft.[1][2][3]

Design and development

[edit]

The aircraft was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules. It features a strut-braced high-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit, fixed tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.[1][2]

The aircraft fuselage is made from welded steel tubing, with the wing made from aluminum tubing, all covered in heat-shrunk Dacron aircraft fabric. Its 8.5 m (27.9 ft) span wing has an area of 13.5 m2 (145 sq ft) and is supported by V-struts with jury struts. The standard engine available is the 64 hp (48 kW) Rotax 582 two-stroke, which gives a cruising speed of 130 km/h (81 mph), with the 80 hp (60 kW) Rotax 912UL four-stroke powerplant optional, which gives a cruising speed of 160 km/h (99 mph).[1][2][3]
