Fk9 ELA

The high performance high-wing cruiser.
 

Designed to compete with the most modern high wing composite planes while maintaining the easy handling and robustness the FK9 is known for!

 

The evolution

 

The ELA is an Evolution of the Fk9 Mark IV, targeting more on private pilots looking for more endurance, comfort, luggage space and other details to allow comfortable long and fast cruise flights

Improved aerodynamics…

Not an easy task for engineering, but it worked:
A new engine cowl reduced drag while improving cooling efficiency!

The new winglets are lowering fuel consumption while helping to improve stall speed handling – a major point to meet the US LSA requirements when flying with the increased MTOW for the ELA.

You can choose between two versions of equipment and panels for your ELA, named “Cruiser” and “Comfort”.

Both configurations will offer you a plane equipped for long distance flights.

Both contain the new MID (multi information display) as standard feature, where you will find all your checklists, indications of fuel consumption, warnings and much more!

Various other options

 

 

 

Folding wing option…

Like for the Fk9 Mark IV you may choose the folding wing option.
This will allow you to store your Fk9 in a small corner of your hangar or trailer.
If necessary wingfolding can be done alone and takes only few minutes!

 

 

 

 

 

Wingtanks or fuselage tanks…

For those who want to fly frequently distances beyond the 1000km mark we offer the use of additional inflatable fuel cells for both wings which boosts the fuel capacity up to 100 ltrs.

For those who don’t want to benefit from the safety and comfort of the standard fuselage tank installation a fixed wingtank system is also available, providing 78 ltr standard volume.
