The SportStar and EuroStar are a family of a two-seat, light sport aircraft (LSA), manufactured by Evektor-Aerotechnik of Czechia and powered by a Rotax 912ULS 100 horsepower (75 kW) engine.

[3] The two aircraft, which are grouped together in the same family by their manufacturer, are visually similar; however, the SportStar is slightly heavier and larger than the EuroStar, with a greater wingspan and a marginally wider fuselage.

The 550kg maximum weight of the SportStar was a deliberate choice by Evektor so that the aircraft would be compliant with the relatively stringent LSA limitations enacted in countries including Australia and Canada.

[13] The SportStar is a two-seat light sport aircraft, intended for recreational flying, touring, basic flight training, and towing roles.

[3] It possesses a relatively low-mounted wing along with a bubble canopy, which provides high level of exterior visibility, a particularly desirable attribute for a trainer aircraft.

[3] For the safety of its occupants, the SportStar can be fitted with an optional rocket-boosted recovery parachute, which fires upwards and sideways through an aperture in the forward engine panel; this system is manually triggered by the pilot via a handle in the cockpit.

The company has also said that this construction technique results in better crashworthiness qualities, prevents rivet zippering during an accident, and is quieter in flight due to the elimination of oil-canning and flexing tendencies.
