The Ekolot JK-05L Junior 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.[1]

Design and development

The JK-05L was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules. It features a strut-braced high wing, an enclosed cockpit with two seats in side-by-side configuration, fixed tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.[1]

The aircraft is made from composites. Its 10.68 m (35.0 ft) span wing employs an NN-1817 airfoil, has an area of 10.24 m2 (110.2 sq ft) and employs carbon fibre flaperons. The twin 35 litres (7.7 imp gal; 9.2 US gal) fuel tanks are located behind the seats. A ballistic parachute is available. The controls include a single, centrally-mounted centre stick and electric trim. The standard engine is the 80 hp (60 kW) Rotax 912UL four-stroke powerplant.[1][2]

The JK-05L was later developed into the Ekolot KR-030 Topaz.[1]
