Foxcon Terrier 200

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Foxcon Terrier 200 is an Australian light-sport aircraft, designed and produced by Foxcon Aviation of Mackay, Queensland. The aircraft is supplied as a kit for amateur construction or as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft.[1]

Design and development

The Terrier 200 was designed to comply with the US light-sport aircraft rules. It features a strut-braced high-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit, fixed tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.[1]

The aircraft is made from vacuum-molded composites with the design goal of strength at a light weight. Its 8.7 m (28.5 ft) span wing employs a Chris Mark 4 airfoil and mounts flaps. Standard engines available are the 80 hp (60 kW) D-Motor LF26, the 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS, the 100 hp (75 kW) Subaru EA 81 and the 116 hp (87 kW) Lycoming IO-233-LSA four-stroke powerplants. Floats for water operations are optional.[1][2]
