quelques passionnés d’aviation, s’intéressant à l’histoire de ses
infrastructures et à la recherche de ce qu’il en reste
Un appareil précurseur de l'ULM de voyage, premier
vol expérimental en 1985 et premier vol inaugural du premier
appareil de série en 1986, il n'a rien a envier aux machines
produites actuellement si ce n'est la vitesse, que tout le monde ne
recherche pas. Plus de 200 machines auraient été mis en
service pour la France, peuplant également la Belgique, la Hollande,
l'Angleterre où il a été bien apprécié aussi vu les appareils qui
restent immatriculés. The Aviasud Mistral was designed by two Belgian engineers, Francois Goethals and Bernard d'Otreppe.The first airplane designed by Bernard d'Otreppes, the Livinstone is stored at the Museum.
The Aviasud Mistral is a French two-seat ultralightbiplane built by Aviasud Engineering.
This plane is notable as it has forward swept wings and side-by-side
seating. The lower wings are movable and are used as the roll control
(wing leveler). The aeroplane (along with the Sirocco) was taken over, and is still supported by, by Aériane in 1989.[1]
