The Air Sports AIRector 120 is a German ultralight aircraft, designed and produced by Air Sports Aircrafts [sic] of Dassel. It was introduced at the Aero show held in Friedrichshafen in 2010.[1]

Design and development

The aircraft was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules. It features a cantilever low-wing, a single-seat, enclosed cockpit, fixed conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.[1]

The aircraft is made from composites and has a very low empty weight of 120 kg (264.6 lb). The initial standard engine is the 50 hp (37 kW) Hirth F23 two-stroke powerplant, but it is expected that an all-electric drive train will be available soon.[1]
