The New Avio C205 is an aerobatic ultralight aircraft, seating two in tandem and produced by New Avio, Gruppo NewCar of Italy.
The C205 is a low wing, single engine aircraft with a retractable conventional undercarriage. It has a wooden structure with a mixture of wood and carbon composite skinning. The low, trapezoidal wings, built around two spars, are entirely wooden apart from Kevlar reinforced leading edges. They have Hoerner-type tips; the trailing edge carries ailerons and electrically driven flaps. The main undercarriage legs are attached to the main spar and have a track of 2.23 m (7 ft 4 in). [1] The main gear is retracted hydroelectrically; the tailwheel is fixed.
The fuselage has a wooden structure, reinforced with steel plates and roll-bar, and tapers to the rear. The fin and rudder are straight edged, tapered and swept; the rudder and elevators are all horn balanced. A long, single piece canopy covers both seats, with a separate windscreen. Ahead, the engine is under a polycarbonate cowling: the standard power plant is a 60 kW (80 hp) Rotax 912 UL flat four, driving a variable-pitch propeller with a choice of two or three blades. [1]
The C205 can be built from kits, with two levels of pre-completion. [1]
By mid-2010 there were at least four C205s on the European registers, all Italian. [2] Three of these have been used by the aeroclub at Trevi, where New Avio is based. They have been flown by the three-man Walter's Bad aerobatic team. [1]
