1.4 Brief Description
1.4.1 Aircraft type
The Apollo Fox type powered microlight is the first aerodynamically controlled
aircraft produced by Halley Ltd. After producing hundreds of weightshift controlled
aircrafts the birth of Apollo-Fox was a turning point in the profile of the Company.
Many years of experiences gained during the production and operation of other
Hungarian aircraft types helped us in the contemplation and construction. On
development,besides small size, quick assembly and easy transportation, price
reduction was a primary aspect. Neither maintenance staff nor established
aerodrome is required for operating the aircraft.
The aircraft is designed as a high-wing monoplane supported by struts. A two-spar
wing is provided with flaperon. The spars and load bearing elements are made of
high strength steel tubes. Fuselage is a lattice-work of steel tubes. The tail unit is
made of a lattice-work tube frame. Landing gear is of a conventional type, with a
nose gear.

The propeller is of a conventional two-three-four bladed, tractor, rotating in clockwise
direction. It is made of wood and/or plastic, or composite type fixed pitch or
ground/air adjustable propeller and has a strengthened leading edge. The propeller
type for each serial number is depends on the order made by the plane’s owner.

912UL,or ULS engine. It is an opposed cylinder,
four-stroke, four-cylinder, centre cam shaft engine
with over-head valves. Cylinder heads are water-
