Reviews
The
Ekolot KR-030 Topaz
is a
Polish
ultralight aircraft
, designed and produced by
Ekolot
of
Krosno
. It was certified in Poland in February 2010. The aircraft is supplied as a kit for
amateur construction
or as a complete ready-to-fly aircraft.
Design and development
The Topaz is a development of the
Ekolot JK-05L Junior
and was designed to comply with the
Fédération Aéronautique Internationale
microlight rules. It features a cantilever
high wing
in place of the Junior's
strut-braced
wing, a two-seats-in-
side-by-side configuration
enclosed cockpit, fixed
tricycle landing gear
and a single engine in
tractor configuration
Like the Junior, the Topaz is made from composites. Its 10.76 m (35.3 ft) span wing employs an NN-1817
airfoil
, has an area of 10.24 m
2
(110.2 sq ft) and
flaps
. Dual 35 litres (7.7 imp gal; 9.2 US gal) fuel tanks are located behind the seats. A
ballistic parachute
is an available option. The standard engine available is the 80 hp (60 kW)
Rotax 912UL
four-stroke
powerplant.
The use of a one-piece wing without struts gives the Topaz a 20 km/h (12.4 mph) higher cruise speed than the Junior, while resulting in the same empty weight.

The Topaz has been accepted by the US
Federal Aviation Administration
as a light-sport aircraft.
