In January 2010, the SportCruiser was added to the Piper Aircraft line as the PiperSport under a licensing agreement with Czech Sport Aircraft. This arrangement was terminated one year later in January 2011. The aircraft is of all aluminum construction with a low wing configuration.[3] It can be fitted with either a 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS[3][5] or a 120 hp (89 kW) Jabiru 3300 engine.[8][9] Approved propellers include the Woodcomp Klassic 170/3/R. The SportCruiser has an optional Ballistic Recovery Systems parachute, auto pilot and Dynon or TruTrak EFIS. The aircraft is capable of cruising at 214 km/h (133 mph) with a range of 1,014 km (630 mi). No wind, standard day gross weight takeoff is achieved in 106 m (348 ft) and landing in 123 m (404 ft).
