The most significant benefit lies in its lightweight construction which can reduce an aircraft’s weight by 10 to 30 kilograms. This makes it an appealing choice for builders seeking both efficiency and performance in their light aircraft.
Oratex UL 600 is specifically tailored for microlight and light wing loading aircraft with a gross weight of up to 600kg. In the UK, this corresponds to a wing loading of 11.6 pounds per square foot and a VNE of 170 miles per hour. This specialised covering system ensures optimal performance and safety for these types of aircraft.
