1971 - Hirth Hi-27 Akrostar 200 HP

French registration certificate as vintage aircraft

• The Hirth Hi 27 Akrostar is a competition aerobatic aircraft designed by Swiss aerobatic champion Arnold Wagner and built in West Germany by Wolf Hirth GmbH in the early 1970s. It dominated the championships for a short period.
• The Akrostar is a single-engine, low-wing aircraft of conventional design. It is powered by a 220 hp Franklin 6A-350-C1 6-cylinder flat engine.
• Distributed confidentially and built in a dozen examples, it was a favourite with aerobatic pilots from the 1970s to the 1980s.
• In the hands of a highly experienced pilot, the Akrostar remains an aircraft that, although outdated on the international scene, is still very spectacular at air shows.
• The model shown here has not flown for several years and will need to be serviced before it can regain its former performance; with its sleek appearance, it would also be perfectly at home in a museum or suspended in a hangar among cars.
