The Apis 2 is a retractable engine motor glider that is powered by a 28 hp (21 kW) Hirth F-33 single cylinder, two-stroke powerplant. The engine is retracted into a bay behind the cockpit for soaring flight. The Apis 2 is built predominately of composites. The 15 m (49.2 ft) span wing features winglets and produces a 39:1 glide ratio. The landing gear is a retractable monowheel gear.[1]
In 2003 the aircraft was offered for €50,950 complete.[1]
