Champion Touring Motorglider · Hungary
Born in Hungary, certified in Germany — Altus is the definitive touring motorglider for pilots who demand the very best. Every rivet, every fibre, every curve has been engineered to deliver unrivalled performance, safety and sheer joy of flight.
"Built for those who believe the sky is not a limit —
it's a home."
— The Altus Philosophy
"ALTUS means Altitude. Altitude is safety."
I was born to give you freedom — to escape the rush of everyday life and take you to breathtaking places. To experience the silence above the clouds and the beauty of the world from a perspective few are privileged to see.
Designed and built in Hungary, the Altus ST is a 15-metre wingspan touring motorglider that blends soaring performance with cross-country touring capability. It has been nominated for the Flieger Magazin Award 2026 in the category "Best New Ultralight Aircraft" — one of Europe's most prestigious aviation honours.
Altus has obtained its German Type Certificate according to DULV 600 kg requirements, confirming its engineering excellence and uncompromising safety standards.
To create the ultimate touring motorglider, we designed every detail with a single goal: to be the best aircraft you have ever flown.
Exceptional short-field performance. Airborne in just 150 metres from virtually any grass strip or airfield.
Lightweight, rigid carbon fibre construction delivers outstanding strength-to-weight ratio and fatigue resistance.
High-aspect-ratio wing optimised for soaring efficiency combined with powered cross-country touring capability.
Full avionics suite controllable from the control column — keeping your eyes outside, where they belong.
Whole-aircraft ballistic parachute safely brings aircraft and occupants to the ground in an emergency.
Gentle, predictable handling for pilots of all skill levels. Altus has no bad habits — just pure joy.
Every Altus is hand-built by passionate craftsmen in Hungary. From carbon lay-up to final inspection, precision is never compromised.
Altus holds more FAI world records than any other aircraft in its class — a testament to extraordinary performance, engineering and the courage of its pilots.
We are proud that a Hungarian-developed, 15-metre wingspan touring motorglider is among Europe's best ultralight aircraft!
Thank you to everyone who supports Altus!
