Aviasud Engineering from Fréjus, France developed a 2-seat highwing ULM-aeroplane with push-propeller. Production of the AE-209 Albatros started in 1992, and the Albatros was available with the 2-stroke Rotax 582 or the 4-stroke Rotax 912 engine. The Albatros classique is equipped with a tail wheel; the Albatros tricycle is equipped with a nose wheel or tail wheel. The wings can be folded, which reduces the needed parking space in the hangar.
After Aviasud went defunct, Micronef ULM had the Albatros built under contract in Poland.
