Designed and produced by Aeros of Kiev as a more basic model than the Aeros-2 for off-airport use, the Ukrainian ultralight trike Cross Country features a cable-braced hang glider-style high-wing, weight-shift controls, a two-seats-in-tandem open cockpit, tricycle landing gear and a single engine in pusher configuration.
The aircraft is made from tubing, with its wing covered in Dacron sailcloth. Its 10.3 m (33.8 ft) span wing is supported by a single tube-type kingpost and uses an “A” frame control bar. Unlike the Aeros-2 the Cross Country does not have a cockpit fairing and sports heavy duty main wheel suspension for rough fields.
Engines available include the twin cylinder, two-stroke, air-cooled 50 hp (37 kW) Rotax 503, the liquid-cooled 64 hp (48 kW) Rotax 582, the four cylinder four-stroke 80 hp (60 kW) Rotax 912UL and 100 hp (75 kW) 912ULS or the certified 912A or S. The BMW K-1100 ULS powerplant is also optional. Available wings to be mated to the carriage are the Aeros Profi, Aeros Stranger, Aeros Stream and Aeros Still.
The Aeros Cross Country, sometimes called the Aeros Cross-Country, was supplied as a complete ready-to-fly aircraft or as kit for amateur construction.
An aerial application kit to allow crop spraying was available as an option.
