In 1996 Aerotechnik with Evektor began development of the EV-97 team Eurostar airplane. A two-seat light or ultralight monoplane designed for sport/leisure flying, touring and training with limitation to non-aerobatic VFR operations. The Eurostar is aerodynamically controlled, single-engine, two-seat, low-wing, all metal plane with a fixed tricycle undercarriage and controllable nose wheel. The aircraft is equipped with four cylinder four stroke 80 HP Rotax 912 UL engine, optionally 100 HP Rotax 912 ULS or 80 HP Jabiru 2200.

Beginning in 2000 was the development of the EV-97 VLA airplane. This aircraft is called SportStar in US and EuroStar in Europe. Development of the SportStar version began in 2003.

By 2009, over 800 of the EuroStar had been delivered worldwide and the 2009 price was 50000 Euro.

The EuroStar SL is an advanced ultralight airplane with 46.5 inches / 1.18 meters of shoulder room, new system of cockpit climate control, and state of the art glass cockpit avionics.During testing more than 450 spins in all configurations were carried out. The airplane was type approved by the Ministry of Defence of the Czech Republic and is operated by the Pilot Training Centre of the Czech Army for initial pilot training.

The EuroStar SL has an all metal anodised and corrosion-proofed aluminium airframe. It has all joints of construction riveted as well as bonded for durability and long fatigue life.

The EuroStar is certified for towing of the sailplanes up to 700 kilos (Duo Discus, Janus, Ventus, ASK 21, Ventus, Blanik etc.) and for towing of banners up to 140 sq.m.

The SportStar MAX is an S-SLA aircraft business travel or training. The airplane was the very first aircraft approved by the FAA (2005) in the U.S. S-LSA category and is holder of the prestigious "S-LSA Aircraft of the Year" honour from AeroNews Network (ANN).

The SportStar MAX with a re-designed, based on an EASA JAR-VLA certified pilot training airplane, airframe at 1320 lb / 600 kg MTOW provides up to 640 lb / 290 kg of useful load combined with range 700 nm / 1300 km, and was available as an IFR version. The SportStar MAX combines aerodynamic composite materials with an all-metal primary airframe structure.

The SportStar MAX build quality and reliability is based on Evektor´s certified aircraft production by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), ISO 9001:2000 Quality Management System as well as LAMA certification.

The canopy gives 46.5 inches / 1.18 meters of shoulder room, and glass cockpit avionics. The SportStar MAX has an all metal anodised and corrosion-proofed aluminium airframe with all joints of construction riveted as well as bonded. The SportStar is certified for towing of the sailplanes up to 700 kilos (Duo Discus, Janus, Ventus, ASK 21, Ventus, Blanik etc.) and for towing of banners up to 140 sq.m.
