Meet Shark.Aero Shark
The Shark first flew in August 2009 and was built by Shark.Aero in Slovakia and the Czech Republic. Its two occupants sit in tandem beneath a canopy. Fixed and retractable landing-gear configurations have been offered, so equipment and performance figures need the named version. Aerobask's Shark UL is the simulator product represented here.
