With the addition of Apis/Bee to the product line, Pipistrel is now the most complex small aircraft producer IN THE WORLD, the ONLY AIRCRAFT PRODUCER offering both single-seat and two-seater side-by-side self-launching gliders, two-seat motorgliders, UL two-seat go-the-distance aircraft, trikes and propellers.
Previously produced by AMS Flight d.o.o., the Apis-Bee project has been acquired by Pipistrel and all operations, production and ordering are now handled entirely through us. We are excited about welcoming all existing and new Apis-Bee family owners and we are confident to provide them with the best possible service!
From its beginnings, Apis-Bee was developed as a sister-ship to the Pipistrel's two-seat Sinus. Now, the sisters are reunited! We are really excited to be able to offer a World-class single-seat self-launch capable UL sailplane alongside our distinguished two-seat aircraft. Apis-Bee is a middle wing ultralight glider with a T-tail. All plastic parts are made in AFK, GFK and CFK technology while all main parts are LN certified. The plane itself is made of armored plastic in combination of epoxy resin enforced with honeycomb, glass, carbon and aramid fibers. Featuring the same wing- and tail section aerodynamics as the Sinus and Taurus, you can be positive in Apis-Bee stellar gliding performance. Apis-Bee truly is a top performer and in fact holds several World Records in its class:
