The Virus SW 121A Explorer is the most advanced aircraft in its category. It is one step ahead of its older brother, the Virus SW 121. It is the result of over 30 years of Pipistrel's experience in designing energy-efficient motor-planes, which follow the glider philosophy. The extraordinarily clean aircraft shapes enable flying with minimum power and noise, as well as the lowest fuel consumption, while keeping the performance on the same level or even better. Approved for intentional spins, Night VFR, and IFR training, the Explorer has the best flight characteristics in its category.
The Explorer’s durability, speed and performance makes it an ideal aircraft for general aviation and for operation from the remotest of locations, including hot, or extremely cold conditions, salty atmosphere close to the sea, or at very high altitude airports. Even with all its advanced features and superb performance, the Explorer's extremely efficient, environment-friendly design makes it very simple to fly and operate. The results are low costs to maintain, making it the most affordable choice on the market in its category. Either as an advanced trainer or as a personal travel aircraft for adventurous individuals, the Explorer is ready for you.
