Sky-World PJ-II Dreamer

The “PJ-II “Dreamer” is two place ducted fan semi-fighter jet replica kit-build airplane. It is a semi-replica because it was never intendant to be design as exact copy of any current “Jet Fighter”.

The aircraft is made of composite constriction with all the parts made in the “molds”. Standard fiberglass and resin (Carbon fiber can be used, as customer request) is used throughout, being of aerospace quality sourced from Germany. Skins with ribs and bulkheads are utilized in a fairly traditional composite build up for sophisticated high performance experimental aircraft.

PJ-II “Dreamer” design around LS6 GM V-8 400 hp automotive (converted for aircraft use) piston engine. Because this is automotive engine, automotive premium or aviation LL100 fuel can be used the “Ducted Fan” propulsion system makes this aircraft look and fly like a jet airplane. It’s no P-factor and torque to deal with.

Certificate of Airworthiness of the Federal Air Transport Agency of the Russian Federation, number 2082164591, was received on February 9, 2016.

Demonstration flights of PJ-II at the exhibition Sun-n-Fun 2016 in Lakeland, Fl. USA, April 2016, arouse much interest. During the air show and in the following few months, the interest was confirmed by the announced intentions of more than 50 pilots, who wished to purchase the kit-build aircraft. The two-seat aircraft first flew in March 2015 and had about 40 flying hours so far. The particular aircraft was to stay in the US for the EAA AirVenture show at Oshkosh at the end of July.

The company reached an understanding, that manufacturing and developing will allow producing only 10-12 kits in 2017, with the increase in their number in the future. $3000 deposits were securing delivery dates in 2018.

Sky-Walker Sky-Walker

The two-seat Sky-Walker Sky-Walker 1+1 was popular as an ultralight training aircraft. The airframe exists out of an aluminium-tube construction. The plane is constructed out of alu-tube covered with sailcloth. As powersource the Sky-Walker 1+1 had a four cylinder, horizontal opposed air-cooled Limbach L 1700 EA engine. The L 1700 EA was a perfect engine for the ultralight Skywalker with a continous 56 hp (maximum 60 hp) and a weight of only 73 kg.

The dated Limbach engine of the PH-1U9 was replaced by a Rotax 462 UL CB.
