The HB-Flugtechnik HB-208 Amigo (English: Friend) is an Austrian ultralight aircraft that was designed by Heino Brditschka and produced by HB-Flugtechnik of Ansfelden. The aircraft is supplied as a kit for amateur construction or as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft. [1] [2]
The design was the company's first microlight and led to further work in that field. [2]
The aircraft was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules and amateur-built rules. It features a strut-braced high-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit, fixed tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration. [1] [2]
The fuselage is made from welded steel tubing, the wing built from wood with its flying surfaces covered in doped aircraft fabric. Its 9.0 m (29.5 ft) span wing has an area of 12.6 m2 (136 sq ft) and uses 45° Dornier wingtips. Standard engines are the 80 hp (60 kW) Rotax 912UL and the 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS four-stroke powerplants. The ultralight version has a maximum gross weight of 450 kg (992 lb), whereas the amateur-built version has a maximum gross weight of 520 kg (1,146 lb). [1] [2]
As of February 2024, the type is no longer mentioned on the company website, indicating termination of production.
