The Apollo Jet Star 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 Jet Star was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight category as well as 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 Jet Star 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 main landing gear uses strut-type suspension, rather than the leaf-type suspension used on the Apollo Delta Jet series. The powerplant options include the twin cylinder, liquid-cooled, two-stroke, dual-ignition 64 hp (48 kW) Rotax 582 engine, the four cylinder, air and liquid-cooled, four-stroke, dual-ignition 80 hp (60 kW) Rotax 912 or 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912S engine.
The aircraft has an empty weight of 180 kg (397 lb) and a gross weight of 430 kg (948 lb), giving a useful load of 250 kg (551 lb). With full fuel of 45 litres (9.9 imp gal; 12 US gal) the payload is 218 kg (481 lb).
A number of different wings can be fitted to the basic carriage, including the cable-braced Aeros Profi, the cable-braced Air Creation iXess, the strut-braced Aeros Profi TL or the strut-braced Gibbogear Manta Ray 12.5.
