Urban Air Samba

The Urban Air Samba is a Czech designed and built light aircraft of the 1990s which incorporates composite construction.

From their original model, they developed the UFM-10 Samba which was of similar overall design, using all-composite construction.

The wings were reduced in span and a conventional tail unit was incorporated in place of the 'T' layout of the Lambada.

The earlier tailwheel undercarriage was replaced by a fixed tricycle layout.

The Samba XXL is a further development, introduced in 2003 for the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight category, with a modified fuselage providing a larger and repositioned cockpit canopy, modified engine cowling and a more streamlined tail unit.
