Design and development
The Aeroskiff is a braced high-wing monoplane powered by a Rotax 582 driving a pusher propeller.[1] It has an open cockpit for a pilot and passenger and a retractable landing gear for land or sea operation.[1][2][3]
The aircraft is too heavy for the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules and its repositionable landing gear means it cannot fit into the US light-sport aircraft rules.[3]
Operational history
By 1998 the company had reported that two examples were flying.[4]
