Skyleader Gallery - Microlight/Light sport Aircraft

Video

SkyFreedom Aviation imported the first SKYLEADER GP One off the production line. This video shows the GP One in action during early 2014 at the Fiordland Aero Club near Lake Manapouri. For two years it was the demonstrator model for New Zealand and in 2016 it was relocated to Queensland, Australia.

A compilation of video clips showing the 'wide-body' SKYLEADER SL 500 Light Sport Aircraft flying in South Korea and in Poland.

It includes some shots inside the JIHLAVAN airplanes factory of the earlier  Kappa KP-5 Rapid ultralight aircraft [from which the SL 500 was developed] being built.

Skyleader has helped develop a microlight fan-jet. The UL-39 'Albi' is a small replica of the legendary Czech L-39 'Albatross' jet trainer from the 'cold war' era.

The prototype first flew in April 2016. It is the result of work by 200 post-graduate students/engineers over a 17 year period at the University of Prague. LA Composites and Jihlavan Airplanes handled the construction, technical advice and flight testing roles.
