Description

Best-in-Class Technology IFR-ready with its dual-touchscreen glass cockpit, advanced autopilot, dual COM, hydraulic constant-speed propeller, airbrakes, heated pitot tube, and adjustable pedals and headrests. The best-equipped, affordable and comfortable 2-seat EASA Type-certified airplane in its category. More than 1500 aircraft from the same family are flying on all continents. Advanced Safety Features Equipped with a ballistic parachute rescue system and a haptic stall warning system, the Explorer provides the highest levels of safety. Approved for Night VFR and intentional spinning, it is a great airplane for advanced UPRT training. Versatile All-in-One Aircraft Its airframe offers unbeatable aerodynamics while being robust for landing on unprepared terrains. It cruises at 2 NM per minute, climbs at 1000 fpm, is richly equipped and full of automation. It is the ideal personal travel airplane, aeroclub workhorse, and advanced trainer. The Virus SW 121A – Explorer is the most advanced aircraft in its category. It is one step ahead of its older brother, the Virus SW 121. It is the result of over 30 years of Pipistrel’s experience in designing energy-efficient motor-planes, which follow the glider philosophy. The extraordinarily clean aircraft shapes enable flying with minimum power and noise, as well as the lowest fuel consumption, while keeping the performance on the same level or even better. Approved for intentional spins and Night VFR, the Explorer has the best flight characteristics in its category. Structural efficiency is the sum of knowledge acquired in making 1500 aircraft of the same family of products.
