Lange Antares 21E Stark

Strong.

The strength of this aircraft is the sum of aerodynamic advantages, an unrivaled seating arrangement and all-round visibility, and a host of good ideas that have been competently integrated - handcrafted using state-of-the-art materials and manufacturing processes. Lange Aviation - 100% Made in Germany, a "Hidden Champion" according to the Chamber of Industry and Commerce and the No. 1 in electric flight according to the EASA register and various awards.

Lange Antares Autark

independent

This aircraft allows you to take off after just a few meters (feet) on any asphalt or grass runway without additional assistance ( although towing and winch launches remain technically possible thanks to the standard tow hook). The Antares 21E is designed so that one person can rig and de-rig the aircraft as well as perform all ground handling.

IMG 4180

Complete.

The standard equipment of the Antares 21E alone already sets industry standards. The catalog of possible customizations and additional equipment leaves nothing to be desired. Anyone who opts for an Antares 21E is making a sustainable investment and opting for pleasure, elegance and quality of life in the air, rather than for maintenance costs and downtime.. The first maintenance on this aircraft is only due after six years.

For competition & cross-country

Even if it is certainly possible to win medals and world championships with our aircraft: As an exception in this class, the Antares 21E is not only aimed at "traditional" competition pilots. We have developed an innovative aircraft of enjoyment for people who want to afford quality. This is also reflected in the operating concept, the very high available propulsive power and the exceptional quality and workmanship of the parts and components.

What pilots have to say about the Antares 21E

A selection of our flight and experience reports

john williams

"I've had several of more than 12 hours and one flight in Argentina was 15h 57min flying, so more than 16h in the cockpit. Without the physical comfort of that cockpit my mental endurance could never have allowed me to complete the 2000km declared flight in challenging conditions."

John Williams
First 1000km declared flight in Scotland, 28 UK and National speed and distance records, IGC 2000km diploma, First out and return crossing from Scotland to Ireland, OLC flight of the year and European overall winner 2007

"One thing stands out immediately. The climb is really impressive and the aircraft has retained its agility. It flies I like a 15 meter airplane with excellent control harmonics and glide performance that makes you feel, yes I can kick it up a notch here and go really fast."

"The view from the big canopy was unique and I felt comfortable right away [...] and that's really unusual for me."

Justin Wills
Multiple runner-up in World Gliding Championships

The propulsion system is extremely powerful and operation is no problem even for pilots with ten thumbs and only left hands. The fact that the drivetrain runs extremely quietly - which is clearly stated by outsiders in particular, as they can no longer hear anything after just a few meters - and with little vibration - is a highly welcome quantum leap. Not to mention the reliability!
