Design and development edit
The Terrier 200 was designed to comply with the US light-sport aircraft rules. It features a strut-braced high-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit, fixed tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.[1][2]
The aircraft is made from vacuum-molded composites with the design goal of strength at a light weight. Its 8.7 m (28.5 ft) span wing employs a Chris Mark 4 airfoil and mounts flaps. The standard engines available in 2012 were the 80 hp (60 kW) D-Motor LF26, the 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS, the 100 hp (75 kW) Subaru EA 81 and the 116 hp (87 kW) Lycoming IO-233-LSA four-stroke powerplants. By 2015 only the Subaru EA 81 and Rotax 912ULS were still offered. Floats for water operations are optional.[1][2][3][4][5]
