I remember when the Europa XS first came out about 30+ years ago. I always loved the Europa but when the glider version was produced I wanted one. I remember seeing advertisements for both kits here in the US in Kitplanes Magazine.

I had no idea the Europa was still around! I remember a mono-wheel aircraft with a wing designed by the engineer who designed an Airbus wing, one of the most advanced in the industry. Yes, Ivan Shaw designer.

Don Dykins was the engineer for the aerodynamics' head of the design team for the Airbus wing. He came to Europa after retirement. Structural engineering by Barry Mellors from Slingsby Aviation, Europa even used a Slingsby pilot for evaluating the aerobatic potential ( Pete Clark ). It is a special aircraft.

Thanks for the details! Don Dykins has left several documents about the design of Europa's airframe and wing. They are available on the club's web site www.theeuropaclub.org/the-europa/design-and-development-don-dykins-

Really good job on this video! I am a Europa XS mono wheel owner and I love it for all it's unique features and capabilities, but with any homebuilt aircraft the question is always how good is this one? Each are unique reflecting decisions of the builder and his workmanship. As for the risk of the swift group losing interest well it's a business and all aircraft companies are at risk, look even Van's is in trouble and they are the most successful of all kit plane companies. It shouldn't affect the owner so much though parts can be built or sourced from many locations.

Terrific. I own a 912ULS trigear, about 700 hours by me. Beautiful, fast, cheap to own, insure and maintain. The low Prices are a mystery, the factory is less than perfect but l don’t see it going anywhere soon as it underpins the credibility Swift gains when mixing it with the UK MOD and other funding bodies. The Club is very resourceful. Some odd characters, ex-bank managers, etc, pretending to be engineers, but that gives the group diversity. The crying shame is that the Europa could be developed into a Evo version, fine tuning some of the already highly efficient areas, introducing new materials (using Swifts coupon testing machine to fully characterise the properties). Summary: Glasair (ish) performance for Kitfox costs.

Must be some confusion, probably he bought this one used, or he's quoting the kit + engine cost.... Just the engine alone is around $25k.. aircraft spruce list the kit less engine for $30k... What's a swifts coupon testing machine...?

Wonderful aircraft for people under 185 cm tall.. I’m 194 cm tall and had to stay in the clubhouse when my friend took off from the airport… No way I could fit in there.. if the fuel tank was situated 10 cm further back / or the fiberglass wall behind the seats were thinner, I could fit. But my knees touched the instrument panel and my head touched the roof..

If this marvellously designed aircraft is well looked after, as I have done for decades, you will seldom need any replacement parts and if you do, some items like cables, plugs and hinges can be obtained from other sources. Only accidental damaged to the structure might dictate complete replacement of a large component, but fibreglass is very repairable and inexpensive if you have the skill and knowledge to do it yourself.

Sehr interessanter Flieger und sogar mit Rettungsschirm. Wenn man das MTOW noch auf 600kg runter setzen würde könnte man den in Deutschland theoretisch als Ultraleicht zulassen, vorausgesetzt er besteht dann noch die Lärmmessung. Wie gesagt, alles Theorie, hab da keine Ahnung von. Direkt mal ein Abo da gelassen. #flight4kids

It's got an engine taken from a LADA GT? What IS the engine? Usually that's the first thing to mention regarding aircraft, or the second. I don't see or hear what the engine is and that music makes it impossible to get further into the video. Nice looking Europa, at first glance. A variety of engines are recommended and used for this plane - Subaru with a GRU, Rotax, dunno what else. Prop? Is that an MT? Sorry if all of this is in the video but I just didn't have enough patience. Good luck selling it.

a 2 seater un-certified (in good and bad of course) aircraft that carries 2 people only. I don´t see why a certified aircraft with the ability to carry 4 people at the same price wouldn´t be more attractive.

Of course it would be more attractive, the same way a Mercedes AMG for the price of a Ford focus would be very attractive :) and impossible.... A certified aircraft that carries 4 people can't be the same price... certification will increase the price by a factor of 5x... the larger engine and larger airframe same thing... eg Cessna 172 $400k... And an aircraft with 4 seats that can actually carry 4 people, full fuel and some baggage, due to its again larger engine, will be 5x again more expensive... eg Cessna 182, $700k....

You confused your personal taste with general asthetics: "It's ugly" vs "I don't like how it looks" Also: "Too small" vs "I am to big for it" You would be percieved much less of a Dick if you didn't do that. Of course that might just have been what you went for, in the end it's your choice. Just saying I case you didn't want to be a Dick here on purpose and for anyone who reads this and likes to learn about communication.
