Evektor-Aerotechnik Vut100 Cobra

Single Piston

The Evektor VUT100 Cobra is a Czech-built single-engine light sport aircraft designed primarily for flight training and recreational flying. Manufactured by Evektor-Aerotechnik in Kunovice, Czech Republic, the Cobra entered production in the early 2000s as a modern successor to the company's earlier ultralight designs. With a maximum takeoff weight of just 650 kilograms (1,433 pounds), it sits at the upper end of the ultralight category while meeting European CS-VLA and American LSA certification standards. The aircraft features a high-wing configuration, side-by-side seating, and a Rotax 912 series engine producing 80-100 horsepower, giving it a cruise speed around 100 knots and a range of approximately 500 nautical miles. Its docile handling characteristics and relatively low operating costs have made it popular with flight schools across Central Europe. The Cobra's stall speed of 37 knots in landing configuration and never-exceed speed of 151 knots define a forgiving flight envelope well-suited to ab-initio training.
