The IKARUS C-serie is very popular due to its excellent flight characteristics.
Serial success
- The time tested construction technique of composite components as aluminum, stainless steel and non structural glass-fibre, Aramid or carbon-fibre elements allows low weights at high stability. A high proportion of fibre elements is used to achieve aerodynamic optimization without sacrificing the benefits of maintenance and repair convenience.
- Optimized engine performance and low fuel consumption through direct air-feed by means of NACA inlet with charge effect for a better engine filling.
- Steplessly variable carburettor air intake pre-heating system prevents carburettor icing and ensures a high level of aviation safety.
- Coupled oil/water cooling circuits guarantee ideal coordination of oil / water and cylinder head temperature.
- Feel-good cabin climate through standard heating and ventilation allows a pleasant travel.
- The aluminum cantilever main undercarriage ensures low aerodynamic drag at high cruising speed and high suspension comfort.
- Very effective flaps combined with two available high-quality and robust braking systems allow use on extremely short airfields.
- Low-resistance profile wing with end to end glass-fibre surface with high quality surface finish and superior profile loyalty.
- The wing in combination with the new standard winglets allow high cruise speed with excellent flight characteristics.
- The tail section was constructed by use of time tested primary aluminum elements and a high percentage of fiber composite material. In addition the construction as pendulum rudder reduces the drag balance significantly in different operation modes. The result is a tail section with well coordinated steering forces and control features which harmoniously blends into the overall appearance.
- The safe handling as well as simple, low-cost maintenance, robust and made to last construction has made the C series a bestseller over the years. Very comfortable light sport aircraft with spacious seating, wide cabin, low noise levels requiring low control input leaving maximum time to concentrate on the navigation and enjoy the scenery.
- What defines the C series is solid, dependable quality. The quality of construction stands out and the flying qualities are very straightforward. The C series withstands general handling better than most and repairs are simple and inexpensive.

Breezer
The Breezer is an all metal, German built Light Sport Aircraft (LSA).
This wonderful aircraft is no “new kid on the block”, but a well proven, 10 year old design that has beautiful and docile handling to match its exceptional, German build quality. The LSA aircraft will Max Cruise at 118kts (with a Normal Cruise of 103 kts) fuel burn of between 13-22 litres of MOGAS per hour (average, depending on cruise setting). The Breezer is completely built from scratch, in the factory, using German Materials and its own machinery in its manufacture.
There is neutral stability to be found throughout the flight envelope.
Rate of climb as high as circa 800fpm from the utterly dependable Rotax engine. You can fly it on and off of Grass as happily as Tarmac and it will (depending on ability) fly in and out of 140m (take off in 95m at max gross)!!!
You can have a full glass cockpit, full dials, half and half, it is fully customisable! Full leather interior or fabric and the paint can be any colour you like! It is not often that you can spec an aircraft to be as individual as you are!
The cabin is 46” wide, so there is plenty of space for elbows and shoulders and the view is incredible, with an almost unobstructed 360 degree view through the beautifully sculpted “bubble” canopy.
Looking straight up is akin to doing so in an open cockpit! There is a payload of 260kgs (approx. 572lbs) and so if you fill the 80 litre tank for example, you have genuine load carrying for two 80 kg adults (about 352lbs!!!) and have space on the luggage shelf for an overnight bag or two weighing over 40kgs (92lbs)!!! Not many LSA’s can do that with full fuel.
Don’t worry about headroom, because even if you’re well over 6ft tall, the Breezers designer is too… and he made sure he still has plenty of headroom to spare.
The steerable nose wheel makes taxying on windy days easier as well as take off and landing easier to control.
We believe Breezer do things better because afterall, if you always do what you have always done, you will always have what you always had… where’s the fun or future in that?!
The Breezer puts the Sport into the Light Sports Aircraft category like nobody else… with more innovations still to come… watch this space!
