Apollo Delta Jet

The Apollo Delta Jet is a Hungarian ultralight trike, designed and produced by Apollo Ultralight Aircraft of Eger. The aircraft is supplied as a kit for amateur construction or as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft.

Design and development
The aircraft was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight category and the US light-sport aircraft category. It features a cable-braced or strut-braced hang glider-style high-wing, weight-shift controls, a two-seats-in-tandem, open cockpit, tricycle landing gear with wheel pants and a single engine in pusher configuration.

The Delta Jet is accepted in the United States as both an Experimental and Special Light-sport aircraft.

The aircraft is made from bolted-together aluminum tubing, with its double surface wing covered in Dacron sailcloth. The aircraft uses an "A" frame weight-shift control bar. The powerplant options include the twin cylinder, liquid-cooled, two-stroke, dual-ignition 64 hp Rotax 582 engine, the four cylinder, air and liquid-cooled, four-stroke, dual-ignition 80 hp Rotax 912 or 100 hp Rotax 912S engine. In its AS-III model the aircraft has an empty weight of 236 kg and a gross weight of 472.5 kg, giving a useful load of 236.5 kg. With full fuel of 55 L the payload is 196.5 kg.

A number of different wings can be fitted to the basic carriage, including the cable-braced Aeros Profi, the strut-braced Aeros Profi TL and the Apollo Reflex 11 or 13.
