RANS S-19 Venterra

The S-19 is a low wing monoplane of traditional aluminum construction, featuring a constant chord wing.

The S-19 is powered by a Rotax 912 ULS engine producing 100 HP. The aircraft seats two in side by side in a 43.5” wide cockpit. Headroom is ample for even 6’4” pilots, and even larger with slight modifications.

Baggage can be carried in a 13 cubic foot compartment behind the seats with a loading capacity of 70lb. This compartment can be extended to the rear for approximate 9.5 cubic foot additional baggage space with a loading capacity of 30 lb.

The S-19 structure is of “monocoque” (stressed skin) carrying most of the strength through the aluminum skins. The skins are sufficiently supported with an  internal structure of bulkheads and stringers to maintain shape.

High quality blind rivets are used throughout the construction of the airframe, with the exception of the spars, which come assembled with solid rivets. The fit and finish of the parts allowing virtually jigless assembly, and many parts to final hole size accelerate and assure a high quality structure. The S-19 may appear complicated, and high in part count, but we assure you the well machined components will assemble quickly, and with much lightness, due to the great care made in keeping things light.
