Kompak Build Aircraft Carrier

Not for the Navy but for the bank manager.

This Kompak trailer looks very sleek and aerodynamic with a tail but will it fly? Not exactly but the light aircraft inside it will.

This Kompak light aircraft carrier was potentially fairly straight forward in principle. The aircraft, a Europa, has a wing span of a little over 8m and all up weight of approx 350 kgs so some fairly big, fragile and expensive pieces had to be stowed, not forgetting the loading ramps and winch. However the tricky bit was to make the whole lot legal behind an Vauxhall Astra!

After some considerable head scratching and a number of redesigns, we managed to pull everything together and deliver the aircraft carrier on time and on budget. So if you’re a Europa owner, you know where to come. The next one has to be easier!
