The Rans S-16 Shekari is an American single-engined, two-seat, low-wing, aerobatic monoplane designed by Randy Schlitter, built by Rans Inc and sold as a kit for amateur construction.[1][2][3][4]

Design and development

Conceived as a new generation of Rans aircraft focusing on quicker built times and higher performance, the Shekari is stressed for dual aerobatics. The Shekari has a 4130 steel tube-and-fabric forward fuselage with composite covering and 6061-T3 aluminum tube rear fuselage and tail. It is available as either a tail wheel landing gear or tricycle landing gear versions. The wings are removable by one person in ten minutes for storage or trailering.[2][3][4]

The S-16 has been flown with the Rotax 912UL of {{convert|80|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}}, but is typically equipped with engines such as the Continental IO-240 of {{convert|130|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} and can accept engines up to {{convert|160|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}}. Construction time claimed is 600 to 1500 man-hours, depending on builder experience.[1][2][3][4]

Production of the S-16 was ended as part of Rans' extensive reorganization of its product line on 1 June 2006, after the kit had been available for 8 years. Twenty-two had been completed and flown by the end of 2005.[1][5]
