The A2C was designed to comply with the Civil Aviation Authority of China rules. It was given a Chinese type authority on 18 July 2003 and a production certificate in 2004. It was designed for the agricultural aircraft, aerial photography, search and rescue, communications and sport roles.[1]
The design features a strut-braced high-wing, a three-seat open cockpit with a windshield, fixed tricycle landing gear or floats and a single engine in pusher configuration.[1]
The aircraft is made from bolted-together aluminum tubing, with its flying surfaces covered in Dacron sailcloth. Its 11.281NaN1 has an area of 19.79m2. The standard engine used is the certified 800NaN0 Rotax 912A2 four-stroke powerplant.[1]
Almost 100 had been delivered by 2016.[2]
Reviewer Marino Boric described the design in a 2015 review as having a "big load capacity, economy, safe and reliable".[1]
