Foxcon Terrier 200 Explained
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] [2] 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.[2]
The aircraft is made from vacuum-molded composites with the design goal of strength at a light weight. Its 8.71NaN1 span wing employs a Chris Mark 4 airfoil and mounts flaps. The standard engines available in 2012 were the 800NaN0 D-Motor LF26, the 1000NaN0 Rotax 912ULS, the 1000NaN0 Subaru EA 81 and the 1160NaN0 Lycoming IO-233-LSA four-stroke powerplants. By 2015 only the Subaru EA 81 and Rotax 912ULS were still offered. Floats for water operations are optional.[2] [3] [4] [5]
