ELA-08 Specifications

ELA 08 R-100 MODEL

A new design by ELA Aviation. Autogyros and comfort are not contradictory terms. You only have to access the interior of an ELA-08 to realise that.

One novelty is the incorporation of another windscreen for the back passenger and the increased size of the cabin.

The interior is much more roomy than expected. Both the pilot and the co-pilot can enjoy the flight in greater comfort.

Those for whom economy is paramount can choose a refined 100HP Rotax 912 uls engine with 1.4 litres of cubic capacity.

ELA 08 R-115 MODEL

At ELA Aviation, our main concern when designing any type of autogyro is to offer maximum protection. That is why we use a highly rigid chassis for active safety.

If you do experience a hard landing then our autogyro's fibreglass and epoxy resin landing gear will cushion you thanks to its arch-shaped design.

After a prolonged study of materials and features, ELA Aviation has built a rotor head that houses a powerful pre-rotator that attains 300rpm, a rotor brake and a Trim system with which maximum adjustment is attained instantly.

Our range is led by the powerful 115HP Rotax 914ul engine with 1.2 litres of cubic capacity and an outstanding power-weight ratio.
