Atol 650 LSA Aurora

2 seat amphibian LSA

LSA amphibious aircraft

Atol Aurora LSA features two seats, a useful load of 270 kg (600 lb), and a maximum takeoff weight of 650 kg (1,430 lb).

Powered by a Rotax 912 iS Sport engine, mounted atop the aircraft in a pusher propeller configuration, the Atol Aurora offers an endurance of up to 5.5 hours and a range of 800 km (450 nm) at a cruise speed of 145 km/h (78 kts).

The stall speed is just 74 km/h (40 kts), with a maximum recommended cruise speed of 167 km/h (90 kts).

The aircraft’s structure combines wood with aluminum and composites. With an empty weight of only 380 kg (830 lb), the use of wood — employed in a state-of-the-art manner — provides a versatile, cost-effective, and easy-to-repair material, making it especially suitable for this type of aircraft.

The flight deck is equipped with Garmin G3X electronic flight instruments.

Previous versions of the aircraft have accumulated over 1,000 flight hours and have proven highly suitable for operations on water, snow, and land — including gravel or grass airstrips.

The takeoff distance from water at maximum weight, clearing a 15 m (50 ft) obstacle, is 460 m (1,500 ft).

The wings can be folded for easy transportation. Atol Aviation also offers a specialized transport trailer, the Atol Mobile Hangar, designed not only for transport but also as a versatile base for aircraft operations and accommodation during missions or outdoor adventures.

The aircraft showcased at AERO 2025 is a prototype scheduled to make its first flight later in the spring.

The company is the only manufacturer of amphibious aircraft in Europe and one of the few producers of modern, ready-to-fly flying boats worldwide.
