Materials

Structure manufactured in TIG-welded stainless steel, ensuring a long life cycle that shows no corrosion, even in the most unfavorable conditions. The fairing, wheel assembly, empennage and seats are manufactured in epoxy resin reinforced with carbon fiber, which ensures superior rigidity and reduced weights. The rugged rotor system is manufactured in duraluminum. Thanks to a precise and careful design it passes all destructive trials with the highest marks. One new feature of the ELA 07-Scorpion is, the higher distance between the front wheel and the landing gear, offering great stability. The new ELA 07-Scorpion is equipped with aluminium rotor blades.
