Aerospool
The roots of Aerospool company reach to the break years 1990-91, when a team of Prievidza air club pilots started to work on WT3 glider prototype. On the basis of the gained skills they decided to found out the company where theirs dream about airplane production would come true. The journey to do this was not simple. The first product that rolled out from Aerospool hall was intended for pilots. It was a fiberglass trailer TV-1 for 15 m span glider transport, and it was Aerospool who created the molds and forms also. Later the TV-2 trailer was added, which is intended for two seater gliders. Until now, more than 100 trailers of both types were delivered to customers all around the world Besides that Aerospool was also involved in model and prototype production for other "non-aeronautical" fiberglass products. For example bodywork parts for tractors, personal or transport vehicles, horse transport trailers, industrial fluid tanks etc.. The aeronautical production in Aerospool began by simple repairs of composite gliders. Production of parts for the following projects was gradually added: airplanes WT6, Sky Boy, Eurofox, Koala, Windex airplane kit, development and production of one seat UL airplane Compact. The important milestone for Aerospool was the year 1993, which represented the beginning of cooperation with Schempp-Hirth Flugzeugbau company. Thanks to this cooperation, Aerospool hsd obtained the expertise to repair composite glider surfaces and various other damages. , which has seen more than 200 damaged gliders returned to the sky.. Overtime the partnership with schempp-Hirth has developed to the point where today it represents one of the main pillars of Aerospool production. In terms of this partnership, Aerospool produces stabilizers, elevators and winglets for Ventus-2c gliders, as well as their pre-assembly, painting and final assembly. Development and production of the composite airplane WT9 Dynamic is so far the biggest project of Aerospool. Although Dynamic WT9 with its weight still belongs to the Ultralight category (in Europe), it by far exceeds this category with its qualities. First of all it is due to its advanced structure, in which the most modern aircraft materials are used, such as carbon and polyurethane sandwiches. It is also due to the experience the company gained from many years of production of subassemblies for the top quality gliders. This all guarantees top quality of production, low weight, and excellent flight characteristics. Dynamic is offered to customers in both fixed and retractable gear, as one of the few airplanes in UL category. And even for the basic price customer will get ready-to-fly aircraft equipped with Rotax 912UL power plant. The long list of options and accessories enables everybody to create an airplane according to his/her needs and desires. The empty weight of the airplane is dependent on the equipment added; it starts as low as 265kg. And for those who prefer to build their own airplane themselves, Aerospool offers aircraft kit. Thanks to aerodynamic characteristics and powerful engine, Dynamic proved itself also as a tow airplane with excellent climb rate. Tests confirmed that the Dynamic enables towing even the heaviest two seat gliders with highest performance such as ASH-25 or Duo Discus. The quality of the airplane and its attractive look is proved not only by interest of customers all around the world but also by the price in The most successful exhibit competition in Aerosalon Jihlava 2002 air show, where not only visitors of the air show but also the professional jury voted Dynamic as number 1. The base of each company dealing with aviation production is to prove their organization system and quality system. The proofs of this are the certificates and approvals for production and aircraft repairs from civil aviation authorities. Aerospool has several of such documents. These are from CAA of Slovak republic: Approval certificate for production No. SK.21G.0002, (in addition to the approval certificate) and approval certificate for maintenance No. L-3-028/SK (addition to the approval certificate). CAA of Czech rep. issued the Approved aircraft repair station acceptance certificate No. 181-01/2 and German Luftfahrt Bundesamt Braunschveig awarded Aerospool with the Genehmigung als Luftfahrhrttechnischer Betrieb Nr. II-A197. It was necessary not only to receive these certificates but also to prove them. Therefore there are annual audits in Aerospool performed by aviation authorities officers that issued the certificates necessary for aviation production and repairmen facility. This is the warranty that the pilots will have the best quality product from Aerospool pilots. |
