ATEC 122 ZEPHYR
This legendary and still popular double-seated cantilever low-winged ultralight aircraft of mixed construction with 3-wheeled fixed landing gear still retains its elegant aerodynamical design, although many constructional and technological modifications have been made since the first version was produced. In course of time the original aircraft design became a completely different. It still maintains its prominent possition on ultralight aviation market due to its strength quality and attractive design. In 2007 the original Zephyr 2000 was re-named to ATEC 122 ZEPHYR. More than 200 pieces of Zephyrs are successfully operated in many countries in the whole world. Since 2001 we offer lighter modifications of Zephyr 2000 taking advantage of carbon composites partially applied on its construction. Although its design, performance and spacious cockpit give the feeling of higher weight category aircraft, in fact it joins the ultralight category thanks to high quality carbon technology, which guarantees excellent strength characteristics. Maintaining high safety factors, this plane complies even with the most strict weight limits and regulations.
The main difference between Zephyr and Faeta is the wing structure, wing´s aerodynamical characteristics and construction materials. Zephyr´s wing profile is identical, but its construction is combined of fiberglass, wood and polyester fabric. The aircraft maintains high rigidity and performance, but different materials application makes the aircraft affordably priced which is usually a valuable advantage.
New additional small windows on both sides of fuselage provide better view and open space feeling. Lightweight, but rigid construction allows the plane to be equipped with a modern rescue parachute system. This very fast and manoeuvrable aircraft provides high comfort of spacious heated cockpit, which gives safety feeling to the crew seating side by side.
We pay attention to our client´s comfort and satisfaction, so we offer a large range of individual interior and exterior design modifications, optional equipment and individual custom dashboard instruments layout as it corresponds with client´s wishes, needs and user´s habits. Our intention is to let our client express his creative ideas applied on his own original design and configuration of his new machine. The cockpit is possible to adjust to pilot´s figure with adjustable seats and pedals.
Because of important advantage of low fuel consumption, our aircrafts can be effectively used not only for comfortable travelling, business trips, but actually also for towing gliders. ATEC planes are very popular in pilot schools due to their easy manoeuvrability and manipulation.
