New version of the popular all metal ALTO aircraft is the outcome of the new Czech certification UL-2 with 600 kg MTOW. There has been no change to the flight characteristics and handling qualities of the aircraft, the aircraft has been improved thanks to more than fifteen years of experience with the aircraft in operation by flight schools, aeroclubs, new and experienced pilots in the Czech Republic and abroad. There has been change of length and design of engine bed and cowling, front leg and fuselage have been both stiffened. The elevator control system has been modified as well. Control cables are not used anymore, push-pull rods were integrated instead. All-metal Aircraft with 600 kg MTOW ALTO is a single-engine, two-seat, self-supporting monoplane. The aircraft was designed as a simple all-metal design suitable for assembly in amateur conditions, yet providing sufficient performance, corresponding to the standards in this category, low maintenance costs and easy and comfortable flight control. The aircraft is equipped with a proven ROTAX 912 ULs engine, providing sufficient power in its category. GALAXY GRS rescue system and glider tow can be installed upon request. Direct Fly currently only produces the ALTO NG version, production of previous ALTO 912 TG model was terminated in 2022. The advantages of ALTO lie in its simple and comfortable piloting, which is guaranteed by the design of the wing. The rectangular wing plan and the profile with a blunt leading edge provide predictable stall characteristics and behaviour. The wing is a semi-monocoque structure and is equipped with built-in tanks with a capacity of 92 litres of fuel.
