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.
The SportStar is a Light Sport Aircraft (LSA) designed for pilot training, sport and leisure flying and touring with limitation to non-aerobatic VFR operations.
The Evektor fully certified (European EASA standard), general aviation-quality aircraft is conventionally powered (Rotax), and has evolved to the flagship Harmony and includes the SportStar MAX, both with all-metal construction, long range economy cruise at 110 knots by 2012. Base prices 2012: US$98,000 (MAX); US$102,000 (Harmony).

On January 1, 1970 the company Aerotechnik was established. The main scope of business was development and manufacturing of small aircraft. Single-seat and two-seat versions of A-70 gyroplane belonged among the first designs.
Since 1972 Aerotechnik has extended its scope of business on overhauling, maintenance and rebuilding of small GA aircraft (Zlín aircraft series, L-60 Brygadýr). Service activities of Zlin aircraft was terminated in mid 90´s.
After Aerotechnik merged with Evektor – an aircraft and automotive design company in Czech Republic, Aerotechnik was transformed into the share holding company Evektor-Aerotechnik in 1999. Evektor-Aerotechnik is based in Kunovice airport in the Czech Republic.
Production of light sport aircraft and advanced UL aircraft was launched in 1996, starting with P220UL Koala aircraft and followed by EV-97 Eurostar (introcuced in 1997) and SportStar aircraft programes. Evektor SportStar became the very first light sport aircraft in the world approved by FAA in USA in 2004.
Also offers the P 220 UL sports two-seater in kit form in light and ultralight versions, and is marketing the braced high-wing two-seat Fox (a variant of the German Ikarusflug Eurofox, with Evektor of the Czech Republic having undertaken important design work, and Aeropro of Slovakia building airframes for Fox and Eurofox).
In 1997–2004 Evektor-Aerotechnik was participating in subdeliveries of airframe parts in program of single engine turboprop Aero 270 of Aero Vodochody. In 2004 the company introduced single engine four-seater VUT100 Cobra and in 2010 new modern twin engine turboprop Evektor EV-55 Outback made roll-out followed by first flight in 2011.
