The AeroJames 01 Isatis (named for the flowering plant) is a French ultralight aircraft, designed and produced by AeroJames of Ajaccio, Corsica. It was introduced at the Aero show held in Friedrichshafen in 2009. The aircraft is supplied as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft.[1][2]

By the beginning of 2018 company website was for sale, the company seems to have gone out of business and production ended.[3]

Design and development

The design is unusual in that the engine is mounted behind the cabin and drives the nose-mounted propeller though a carbon fibre extension driveshaft that is housed in a casing that runs between the two occupants. This allows a smaller and more pointed nose than with a nose-mounted engine and improves visibility.[1][2]

The aircraft was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules. It features a strut-braced high-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit, tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.[1][2]

The aircraft is made from carbon fibre composites. Its 9.80 m (32.2 ft) span wing employs flaps. The standard engine used is a 100 hp (75 kW) BMW four-stroke, two-cylinder, air-cooled, horizontally-opposed motorcycle powerplant.[1][2]
