Aerobility operates a mixed fleet of aircraft offering different modifications and accessibility so that we can work with as broad a range of disability types as possible. 

Tecnam P2002 JF, G-UCAN and Piper PA-28 Warrior, G-BMFP

The Tecnam P2002 JF incorporates some clever modifications for disabled fliers including strengthened wings allowing weight bearance (making access easier) and extra hand holds. The canopy opens extra wide and the aircraft is also fitted with an innovative hand control which operates both the rudder and throttle.  It is also fitted with a Rotax engine giving low cost operations.

Piper PA-28 Warrior

The Piper PA-28 Warrior is a family of light aircraft built by Piper Aircraft and designed for flight training, air taxi, and personal use.  It has a tough construction that a person can sit or lean or stand upon, indeed many disabled fliers are able to 'bum shuffle' their way from a wheelchair onto the wing and into the pilot's seat as these are almost on a level.

This aircraft is fitted with a specially designed Turner hand control system.

The PA-28 family of aircraft are all-metal, unpressurized, single-engine, piston-powered airplanes with low-mounted wings and tricycle landing gear. They have a single door on the copilot side, which is entered by stepping on the wing.
