Our Ultralight Trainer Airplane

RANS

The American Ultralight RANS S-12S Airaile went into production in March of 1990 and has enjoyed a progressive evolution.  Improvements to cabin comfort, durability, and performance are the direct result of working with user input.  This is typical of the Airaile program from the beginning.  The Airaile was designed to fulfill many foreign and domestic requests for a two-place pusher with side-by-side seating that was economical to buy, quick to build, easy to fly, and rugged enough to withstand the rigors of training.  Over the years, the Airaile has earned a respected position in over 40 countries as the plane capable of fulfilling these goals.  Our RANS S-12S is equipped with Italian made, SIBRON parachute designed to save the airplane, pilot and passenger at the same time. RANS S-12S was certified from the the Civil Aviation Authority to be used as an ultralight trainer in the Republic of Bulgaria.
