Aeroprakt A-22 Foxbat

Single Piston

The Aeroprakt A-22 Foxbat is a Ukrainian-designed high-wing ultralight and light sport aircraft that has earned a reputation for rugged construction and exceptional short-field performance since its introduction in the mid-1990s. Built by Aeroprakt in Kyiv, the Foxbat features an all-metal airframe with folding wings for trailering and storage, making it popular among recreational pilots seeking a practical aircraft that can operate from grass strips and unimproved surfaces. Its design emphasizes simplicity and durability, with a spacious side-by-side cockpit offering excellent visibility through large Perspex panels. The A-22 typically cruises around 90 knots on a Rotax 912-series engine, with a stall speed as low as 35 knots in landing configuration—performance that allows operations from fields as short as 300 feet. Maximum altitude capability reaches approximately 13,000 feet, and the type's 1,320-pound maximum takeoff weight positions it squarely in the light sport aircraft category for many jurisdictions. The Foxbat has found operators across Europe, Australia, and North America, serving roles from flight training to recreational cross-country flying, with several hundred examples delivered worldwide.
