AEA Explorer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The AEA Explorer is a large single-engine utility aircraft. It is of mostly conventional high-wing configuration, but interesting features include landing gear that retracts into under-fuselage sponsons and a slightly swept forward wing. The prototype, designated Explorer 350R first flew in 1998 and was soon exhibited on promotional tours of Australia and the United States.
The Explorer is currently being offered in three versions - the piston-engined 500R, a turboprop-powered version, the 500T (which first flew in 2000), and a stretched version of the 500T, designated 750T.
Explorer Aircraft was established in Jasper, Texas to market the aircraft for the US market.
