The Airdrome Dream Classic is a minimalist, high wing, single seat, single engine ultralight aircraft inspired by the 1908 Santos-Dumont Demoiselle and produced in kit form by Airdrome Aeroplanes of Holden, Missouri.[1][2][3][4][5][6]

The aircraft is intended for the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles category.[1]

Development

The Dream Classic was designed as a low-cost and very basic ultralight. The fuselage is open and constructed from pop-riveted aluminum tubing. The wing is covered with aircraft fabric and is wire-braced utilizing a kingpost to support the ground loads or optionally strut-braced. The wings can be removed in 20 minutes for trailering. Controls are conventional three-axis, with the elevator and ailerons operated by a side stick.[1][3][5]

Two different wings are available, a standard wing of {{convert|30.5|ft|m|1|abbr=on}} span and 122 sq ft (11.35 sq m) area and a speed wing of {{convert|21.5|ft|m|1|abbr=on}} span and 86 sq ft (8.00 sq m) area. The speed wing restricts the aircraft's useful load to {{convert|170|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}}, while the standard wing allows {{convert|250|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}}.[1][5]

The standard engine is the {{convert|40|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} Rotax 447, although engines of {{convert|28|to|52|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} can be used. The manufacturer estimates that a builder will take 100–120 hours to complete this aircraft from the kit. In 2009 the airframe-only kit for the wire-braced version cost US$3495 and US$3995 for the strut-braced version. A completed airframe is also available for an additional US$2000.[1][5][7]

By the fall of 2007 48 wired braced and one strut-braced Dream Classics were flying.[4]
