Thank you for your enquiry regarding the XS. Details as follows:-
We are proud to announce the new EUROPA ?XS?
* Extra Speed
* Extra Comfort
* Extra range
* Extra baggage space
* Extra useful load
* Extra advanced build kit
When the Europa was launched in 1993 it pushed the wheel of progress forward.
The ?XS? pushes it into the next century!
With the development of the XS, the Europa has been taken on to the next level
in terms of flight capability, ease of construction and a large reduction in
building time.
Xtra Speed and Efficiency
A complete new firewall forward has been developed including sleeker cowlings
giving improved cooling with lower drag, greater aerodynamic efficiency,
increased prop clearance and a better over the nose visibility. Outrigger
fairings and a new lower drag tailwheel assembly have resulted in a 200 mph top
speed for the Rotax 914 powered Europa.
A new higher aspect ratio wing is used in the XS to give better climb rates and
increased efficiency. New ailerons with reduced chord and increased span have
been incorporated to further enhance the Europas delightful handling.
Xtra Comfort
The pilot?s leg room has been increased by 2? and the central wheel well has
been reduced giving an extra 3? width in the seat pan area.
Xtra Range
An optional secondary long range fuel tank is available that will push the
Europa?s range to over 1000 nautical miles / 1150 statute miles / 1850
kilometres. In economy cruise the Europa will return 50 miles per gallon / 18
kilometre per litre on ordinary 4 star petrol.
Xtra Baggage Space
Baggage space in the XS has been more than doubled opening up the possibility of
fitting a child?s seat in the rear area.
Xtra Useful Load
Gross weight for the XS has been increased by 70 lb / 31 kg for aircraft fitted
with variable pitch propellers or engines over 90 bhp and a weight reduction
programme has reduced the airframe weight by 20 lb / 9 kg.
The XS Kit
The Europa kit has been developed over the last four years in line with the
experience gained and feedback from our 400 plus builders.
The XS kit has been designed to drastically reduce the time to build and
simplify construction.
The main wings are now not only pre-moulded but also largely pre-assembled
knocking hundreds of hours off the building time. The fuselage moulding now
incorporates the fin saving further time in construction.
Both wings and fuselage mouldings now come with a ?gel coated? finish that is
ready for paint, again saving hundreds of hours in the finishing process.
All nuts, bolts and hardware come in presentation boxes to simplify storage and
ease construction.
The XS kit comes complete with the main gear damper system as standard and a new
tailwheel assembly that is designed to make the XS much easier to handle in the
take off and landing phases of flight.
The Europa XS
We firmly believe that no other aircraft in the world today can compete with the
overall performance, efficiency and utility of the XS.
Due to the continued product development, all prices, specifications and
performance figures are subject to change without prior notice.
