Design and development

The Nordic VII was designed to comply with the Canadian ultralight rules. It features a strut-braced high-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit with doors, fixed conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration. [1]

The aircraft fuselage is made from welded steel tubing, with its wings made from wood and all surfaces covered in doped aircraft fabric. Its 33.80 ft (10.3 m) span wing has an area of 135 m2 (1,450 sq ft) and mounts flaps. The wing is supported by V-struts and jury struts. The standard engines supplied were 90 to 100 hp (67 to 75 kW) Subaru EA four-stroke powerplants. [1]

The cockpit width is 41 in (104 cm), 2 in (5.1 cm) wider than the Nordic II. The Nordic VII also has a swept tail, which differentiates it from the Nordic VI. The wing has slightly greater span than the Nordic VI, but less area, giving the Nordic VII a 5 mph (8.0 km/h) higher stall speed and a lower rate of climb, but a faster cruise speed. [1]

Construction time from the factory supplied kit is estimated at 300 hours. [1]

Operational history

In November 2016 there were two Nordic VIIs on the Transport Canada Civil Aviation Register. [2]
