The Aerodyne Systems Vector is a family of American ultralight aircraft that was designed by Berndt Petterson, Mike McCarron and Paul Yarnell and produced by Aerodyne Systems, introduced in 1982. The aircraft was supplied as a kit for amateur construction.^[1]^[2]

Design and development

The Vector owes many of its design concepts to the earlier Hill Humbug and was later to inspire and influence the Ultralight Flight Mirage.^[1]^[2]

The Vector was designed to comply with the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules, including the category's maximum empty weight of {{convert|254|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}}. The aircraft has a standard empty weight of {{convert|195|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}}. It features a cable-braced high-wing, V-tail, a single-seat, open cockpit, tricycle landing gear and a single engine in pusher configuration.^[1]^[2]

The aircraft is made from bolted-together aluminum tubing, with its flying surfaces covered in Dacron sailcloth. Its 80% double-surface {{convert|35.2|ft|m|1|abbr=on}} span wing is supported by cables running from an inverted "V" kingpost. The landing gear's nose wheel is not steerable and a small tail caster is provided. The pilot is accommodated on an open seat, without a windshield. The engine is mounted at the wing's leading edge and powers the trailing edge-mounted pusher propeller through an extension shaft.^[1]^[2]

The Vector series was very popular in its day and a great number were produced.^[1]

Variants

Vector 600

Initial model, with a two-axis control system, powered by two {{convert|9|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} Chrysler engines.^[1]

Vector 610

Improved model, with a structurally strengthened airframe, enlarged spoilers, elliptical wing tip extensions and powered by a single {{convert|22|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} Zenoah G-25B single cylinder, two-stroke engine.^[1]

Vector 627

Powered by a single {{convert|28|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} single cylinder, two-stroke Rotax 277 engine.^[1]

Vector 627 SR

Powered by a single {{convert|35|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} single cylinder, two-stroke Rotax 377 engine.^[1]
