Produced by JMB Aircraft, the airframe is completely made of composite material which excels in its specific strength and excellent fatigue properties. The entire aircraft can be broken down into individual units, i. e., both halves of the wing and tail surfaces, including stabilizers, can be separated from the fuselage to ease aircraft transport.

The aerodynamic design of the wing gives the aircraft appropriate fall characteristics. The separation of air flow in the critical angle of slope happens at the root of the wing. This ensures good handling of the machine until it drops and symmetrically stalls. This allows for the aircraft’s smooth and agile handling.

The tail section employs a true and tested traditional design. The internal structure of the stabilizers is similar to the construction of the wings. Therefore the tail section can be completely removed from the hull, with the exception of the keel, which is its integral part.

The VL3 has type certificates in The Czech Republic, Germany, Belgium, France, Norway, Portugal, Poland, The Baltic States, South Africa, USA, Italy, Slovakia, Turkey, Hungary and Romania. VL3 is eligible to be registered in Canada. New type certificates are in process for Israel, Australia, New Zealand and Spain.

The cabin area features clean lines and a minimalist, contemporary design. The combination of carbon and kevlar fibers, which are extremely tough, provide safety to the crew in case of an emergency landing.

The dashboard is fully customised to individual customers. The instruments are mounted in a laser-cut plate with surface inscriptions created by serigraphy. Carbon look panel is an option.

The seats are comfortable and modern – select your choice of textile or leather designs, including choice of color. The seats are equipped with four-point safety belts. You can also choose colour of stitches, safety belts, perforated leather or not, colour of embroidery.

The aircraft is equipped with a heating and ventilation system. Warm air is distributed to the leg areas, while cold air is delivered through vents on the dashboard. Strong Aveo cabin ventilation system can be ordered as an option.

The baggage compartment is equipped with headphones holders. The luggage space allows for four standard airliner size cabin bags.

The acrylic glass canopy allows for spectacular views from the aircraft throughout your journey. Available in your choice of clear/blue/green or brown.

Performance

JMB applies the highest quality standards in both development and production through the use of certified parts and top-quality carbon fibre composite materials. The VL3 is a fast, safe and economical touring aircraft and with over 400 aircraft sold since 2002, it is a very popular and reliable choice.

Engine

The VL3 is available with three different engines: the Rotax 912, 914 and the Rotax 915. The Rotax 912 represents is known for its reliability and efficiency, making it ideal for flying long distances. The Rotax 914 is for those pilots who are seeking a boost in performance 16 kts @ FL 90), with more power and more uniform performance at different altitudes. 915 turns VL3 into ultimate performance machine with incredible agility and outstanding cross country plane with great fuel economy. You can install an additional electric fuel pump, an airbox, fire protection of the fuel and oil hoses or an auxiliary generator. An army of sensors will be there for your safety. e.g. fuel pressure, fuel flow, oil pressure, oil temperature, CHT, EGT, MAP.

Propeller

You can choose between a fixed or variable pitch propeller. The propeller is adjustable in-flight to enhance your climb and cruise performance. Its adjustability will also shorten your take-off distance. For best results install the Rotax 915 paired with Woodcomp KW-31 EASA propeller.
