VELIS CLUB: the most versatile type-certified two-seat aircraft
The perfect combination of affordability, efficiency and performance.
Versatility
The Velis Club suits a wide range of uses from basic flight instruction, to glider towing, and long-range cross-country flying with unbeatable performance.
The Club is the essential element of the Velis Training System, complementing the Velis Electro to cover all the areas of basic and advanced pilot training. The exceptional outside visibility, together with the simple and reliable avionics suite, is ideal for pilots learning the fundamentals of VFR flying. Its robust, heavy‑duty landing gear is optimized for the demands of flight training and routine operations from both paved and grass runways. Approved for intentional spins, the Velis Club is also perfectly suited for advanced UPRT training.
The constant-speed variable-pitch propeller brings faster cruise speeds and better fuel economy. Flying at up to 133 KTAS and offering more than 1,000 km of range, this fast high-performance cruiser is a fantastic airplane for cross-country flying.
The Velis Club is also approved for glider towing with the addition of the optional glider tow hook.
Reliability
As an EASA type‑certified aircraft, the Velis Club has demonstrated compliance with the reliability and performance standards required under the CS‑LSA certification basis through completion of all applicable qualification testing. The Rotax 912 S3 engine, also EASA certified, is a well‑established powerplant with extensive operational experience.
Building on the certified designs of its predecessors, the Virus SW 121 and Velis Electro, the Velis Club integrates a range of approved features—such as a multi‑sensory stall warning system, approval for intentional spins, and the optional Ballistic Parachute Recovery System—supporting its role across a wide range of training and operational profiles.
Cost Efficiency
The Velis Club combines the proven airframe and engine of the Virus SW 121 with the simplicity and durability of a club aeroplane, which can also be used for pilot training. The outstanding aerodynamic efficiency and robust lightweight structure of the Velis Club result in a high-performance aircraft with low fuel consumption, low cost, and low environmental footprint. Optional equipment like baggage compartment, ballistic rescue system, wheel fairings, and more, let the customizable Velis Club adapt to your budget.
