About the S-18
The Rans S-18 is a fixed-wing amateur-built aircraft categorized as a light-sport eligible trainer. It utilizes a single engine mounted in a pusher configuration right-side up above the wing, paired with a tandem seating arrangement that accommodates two people.
Background development utilized wing and tail assemblies from earlier company models while introducing a unique fuselage layout with dual rudder controls and center-mounted sticks. The airframe features bolt-and-rivet construction and comes packaged with standard equipment including a steerable tail wheel, an elevator trim tab, a folding tail mechanism, a nose pod, and a four-point harness.
