Aeroalcool Quasar

The Aeroalcool Quasar is a Brazilian light-sport aircraft that is produced by Aeroálcool and was introduced in 2007.

[1][2] The aircraft was designed by American Frank Porter with assistance from James Waterhouse of the Federal University of São Carlos in Brazil, to comply with the US light-sport aircraft rules.

It features a cantilever low-wing, a two seats in side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit under a forward hinged canopy, tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.

[1][2] The aircraft is made from aluminum sheet and has a 9.25 m (30.3 ft) span wing.

The initial engine used was the Japanese 60 hp (45 kW) HKS 700E four-stroke powerplant which gives it a cruise speed of 210 km/h (130 mph) while burning only 9 litres (2.0 imp gal; 2.4 US gal) per hour of auto fuel.
