Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides a detailed description of the Shark UL/LSA/ELSA aircraft, highlighting its design, performance, and production features. It is a high-performance composite aircraft designed for fast cross-country flights and recreational flying.
Design and Aerodynamics: The Shark aircraft features an advanced aerodynamic concept with a proprietary airfoil optimized for minimal drag. The fuselage and aerodynamic surfaces are streamlined for efficiency, developed by experienced professionals from Czech aircraft manufacturers.
Design Continuity: The Shark project is a result of collaboration between Gryf Design and COMP-LET, combining extensive experience in composite materials and aircraft design.
Cockpit Comfort: The aircraft offers a spacious cockpit with excellent visibility, adjustable seats and pedals, side-sticks, and EFIS instrumentation. It is designed to accommodate pilots of various sizes comfortably.
Production and Quality: The structure is primarily made of carbon epoxy composite, using advanced materials like TEXTREME carbon fabric and AEROGLASS glass fabric. The production benefits from the expertise of COMP-LET's experienced workforce.
Performance Specifications: The aircraft is powered by a Rotax 912 ULS 100 hp engine with options for different propellers. It offers various cruise settings with specific speeds, fuel consumption, and range metrics. The Shark is stable in flight with easy handling at both low and high speeds.
Design Features: The Shark UL is designed according to European UL rules, with a stall speed of 65 km/h and a maximum take-off weight (MTOW) of 472.5 kg. It is prepared for future EU regulations with a sportShark version in development.
Structure and Undercarriage: The aircraft features a composite wing with carbon-fibre spars and retractable tricycle undercarriage with hydraulic disc brakes.
Powerplant and Equipment: The standard engine is a Rotax 912ULS, with an option for a Rotax 914 for improved high-altitude performance. Various equipment options are available, including larger fuel tanks, adjustable props, and autopilot.
Technical Specifications: The Shark UL has a wingspan of 7.9 m, a length of 6.7 m, and a wing area of 9.5 m². It has an empty weight of 295 kg and a maximum permissible speed of 333 km/hr.

SHARK.AERO, s.r.o. Letisko Senica - 906 31 Hlboké 406, SLOVAKIA LZSE 48°39’28” N 017°19’47” E High-performance composite tandem-seat low-wing UL/LSA/ELSA aircraft , designed to be ideal for fast cross-country flights and flying for fun An integration of exclusive performance with comfortable cockpit, excellent visibility, and uncompromising styling enables you to feel yourself like a true Shark in the Sky ADVANCED AERODYNAMIC CONCEPT To achieve a minimum aerodynamic drag the Shark uses a proprietary airfoil, optimized for fast cross-country flights, developed specially for SHARK. The smoothly streamlined, aerodynamically efficient fuselage and aerodynamic surfaces with the elliptical outer leading edges are created by professionals with a lot of experiences from well-known Czech aircraft manufacturers. CONTINUITY OF THE DESIGN Beginning of the Shark project was based on the successful collaboration between the Gryf Design and COMP-LET, it combines the producer’s long-time experience with composites and the design team’s know-how gained during a large number of designs - from ultralights and sailplanes to GA airplanes and commuters, flying in thousands worldwide. COMFORTABLE ROOMY COCKPIT Superb visibility, comfortable adjustable seats, adjustable pedals, side-sticks, EFIS instrumentation, big volume and easy access side doors for baggage compartment - everything is optimized for the crew comfort during long flights. It is really comfortable for subtle girls, as well for XXL pilots over 2 m tall. PRODUCTION AND QUALITY Structure is mostly carbon epoxy composite, combined with glass fabrics, carbon-aramid fabric, foam, honeycomb – to get the best weight/strength ratio, stiffness and safety. We use new materials – TEXTREME carbon fabric from OXEON, PR220 resin and pultruded carbon profiles from 5M, AEROGLASS glass fabric from HAVEL COMPOSITES. Aircraft is produced in COMP-LET facility, take advantage of 200 highly-qualified employees from the past, who had a lot of experience in composite structures’ mass production due to its 16-year-long career as a proven supplier of famous aircraft manufacturers like the Diamond Aircraft (DA-40, DA-42, SuperDimona, Katana), the Aerospool (Dynamic), the FlySynthesis (Texan, Wallaby), the Aeropro (Eurofox), the FKLeichtflugzeuge (Polaris) etc. Production of Shark will be based on a knowledge of this people
