The BOT SC07 Speed Cruiser is a German ultralight and light-sport aircraft, designed produced by BOT Aircraft of Oerlinghausen and introduced in 2009. The aircraft is supplied as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft.[1]
Design and development
The SC07 was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules and US light-sport aircraft rules. It features a cantilever high-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit, fixed tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.[1]
The aircraft structure is predominantly made from carbon fibre, with the rudder made from fibreglass. Its 8.1 m (26.6 ft) span wing is also made from carbon fibre, covered with fibreglass and fits flaps. Standard engines available are the 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS and the 91.8 hp (68 kW) D-Motor LF26 four-stroke powerplants.[1]
The SC07 is capable of towing gliders and also operating on floats.[1]
