The Aeronautic 2000 company was founded in 1981 by Henri de Beaufort and Roland Magallon, to distribute the Baroudeur. One of the first participants in hang gliding in France and a man who became one of the most important manufacturers of hang gliders in Europe, Roland was the first to produce trikes units to fit under an unmodified hang glider wing. With the marketing of the Baroudeur single-seater in the summer of 1982, he became the first European manufacturer to offer a complete range of machines from weight shift machines (which are marketed separately under the name Veliplane) to three axis conventional control types.

Aero Mirage Mirage TC-2
A super-clean, conventional design with quickly removable wings. Instead of small radical wings, this aircraft utilises modern composite materials and straightforward aerodynamic principles to achieve performance. All structural parts are pre-formed, including all spars. Metal fittings are pre-welded and only require some assembly and drilling.
The prototype N2484V first flew on 16 May 1983.
The Team Tango Tango 2 was developed from the 1983 Aero Mirage TC-2.

Aerolites Bearcat
The Bearcat kit was a Baby Ace replica designed by Jack Hutchinson, with full 3 axis controls with a floor mounted joy stick and rudder pedals. Incorporating a 4130 chromolly welded fuselage, a fully cowled engine, and dual surface wings and fuselage, covered with dacron sail cloth.
Optional equipment includes electric starter, ballistic parachute, hydralic disc brakes, and the Rotax 503 2V 53 hp engine. Equipped with shoulder and lap belts, bungee shock landing gear, and a 360 degree roll-cage cockpit construction, the kit major components are pre-welded, machined, sewn, cut and bent, while the fabric slips on components and laces up, no doping required.
The Bearcat is basically a high wing mono configuration, tractor mounted engine, amateur-built aircraft with an all steel 4130 chromolly fuselage frame. The welded fuselage is designed to accommodate all other components by a series of tabs to which the components are bolted.
The wing is a simple ladder construction with strong internal diagonal bracing. This configuration has supported over +6 and -4 G in static load testing. Aluminum ribs placed in upper and lower pockets in the dacron covering shape the airfoil.

Aerolites AeroMaster AG
The AeroMaster AG is a complete light aerial ag system designed by a farmer for farmers. Using only 5 gallons of fuel per hour while covering 150-200 acres per hour gives low operating cost per acre. The SprayMiser rotary atomizer nozzle system provides a cost-effective technology for applying pesticides.
The AeroMaster is a low-wing, amateur-built aircraft with a 4130 chromoly steel fuselage frame. The welded fuselage accommodates all other components by a series of tabs to which the components are bolted. The wing’s construction with internal diagonal bracing has supported over +6 and -4 G in static load testing. Aluminum ribs placed in pockets in the dacron covering shape the airfoil. Standard three-axis control: conventional rudder pedals, throttle quadrant and joy-stick controlled ailerons and elevator are fitted.
The aircraft includes the Spray Miser CDA Ag system and 30 USG chemical tank, covering up to 120 acres.
