The Aeroprakt A-32 Vixxen is a Ukrainian two-seat, high-wing, tricycle gear ultralight aircraft that was designed by Yuri Yakovlev and is manufactured by Aeroprakt. In Australia the A-32 is referred to as the Vixxen.[1][2]
The Aeroprakt A-32 is supplied either as "ready-to-fly" factory built aircraft.
Design and development
The A-32 is a development of the Aeroprakt A-22 Foxbat and the result of three years of research and development.[2]
To increase cruise speed on the same Rotax 912ULS engine as the A-22 the aircraft has a new flush wing-to-body fairing design and all flying horizontal stabilizer, as well as moulded baffling for improved engine airflow and cooling. Other changes include a wing that is 10 cm (3.9 in) shorter, shorter lift struts and better wing tank fairing. This results in a cruise speed that is 20 kn (37 km/h) faster than the A22.[2]
