The FK14 Polaris Light Plane
The fast cruiser without compromise!
In addition to its modern design, the Polaris distinguishes itself not only because of its outstanding panorama view, but also due to its low fuel consumption which in turn allows far-ranging hauls.


The large one-part cabin hood opens easily with the help of gas-driven spring-openers and permits easy boarding.
The ergonomic, adjustable molded seats are designed for long and still relaxing journeys.

 


Generous space provision
Shoulder width of
1.14m makes everybody happy!

 

 

 

Various Panel Layouts

 

 

 

 

 

Up to four luggage compartments, one with external access, for equipment transport.

 

Controls:
A modern, electric Fowler flap system
allows wing extension of up to 20%.
This makes cruising speeds of up
to 250 km/h possible even starting
from very short runways!

The winglets on the ailerons optimize
control efficiency.

 

 

Safety
GIn addition to its technological finesse, this machine also meets the requirements set by highest safety standards. As with all the other FK planes, the Polaris cockpit area is built of a tubular steel safety frame. The fuel tank system is located outside the crumple zones!

The innovative combination of aluminum and fiber composite materials provides a light and maintenance-friendly structure with a very high level of rigidity.

Speyer, 20. April 2003

We are launching the new model line
2003 Polaris, FK14 (B):
 

Most significant modifications are:

  1. enlarged canopy swivel angle for easier access of very tall pilots
  2. new nosewheel steering system integrated in nosewheel fairing for improved aerodynamics
  3. stretched fuselage for improved longitudinal stability
  4. modified tailplane and spring trim system for improved pitch-stick characteristic
  5. wing structure entirely build from carbon/Nomex sandwich for improved aerodynamics and ease of repair
  6. modified outer wingpanel and wingtip for improved performance and better stall characteristic
  7. integrated fuel tank system in wingstructure for more fuel capacity (>65 ltr)
  8. new large luggage compartment behind seats
  9. optional tailwheel (racing) version available, with expected 6 kg lower empty weight and improved (>8 km/h) top speed

     



Design goal is to improve general characteristic of the concept by maintaining current advantages, weights and price level!
Planned market introduction will be for AERO 2003 exhibition in April 2003.
