Sperwill 210

The Sperwill 210, introduced by Sperwill Ltd in 2018, quickly became a benchmark for modern light sport aircraft. Born from the company’s earlier experimental prototypes, the 210 was the first production model to integrate a carbon‑fiber fuselage with a fully digital flight‑control suite, a combination that reduced empty weight by 15 percent while delivering unprecedented handling precision. Its twin‑engine configuration—featuring two turbo‑charged Rotax 915 iS powerplants—provides a combined 240 horsepower, giving a cruise speed of 220 kt and a range of 1,200 nm, performance levels previously limited to higher‑cost turboprops. The cockpit houses a 12‑inch glass cockpit displaying synthetic vision, health‑monitoring telemetry, and automated emergency procedures, simplifying pilot workload and enhancing safety. Historically, the Sperwill 210 marked Sperwill Ltd’s transition from niche kit‑plane supplier to a globally recognized manufacturer, securing certification under both EASA CS‑23 and FAA Part‑23 standards. Its impact on aviation lies in democratizing high‑performance flight: flight schools and private owners now access turbine‑like capabilities without the associated operating costs, prompting a wave of similar designs across the industry and reshaping the light‑sport market.
