HB-Flugtechnik Amigo
type of aircraft
The HB-Flugtechnik HB-208 Amigo (English: Friend) is an Austrian ultralight aircraft that was designed by Heino Brditschka and produced by HB-Flugtechnik of Ansfelden. The aircraft is supplied as a kit for amateur construction or as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft.
The design was the company's first microlight and led to further work in that field.
Design and development
The aircraft was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules and amateur-built 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.
The fuselage is made from welded steel tubing, the wing built from wood with its flying surfaces covered in doped aircraft fabric. Its 9.0 m (29.5 ft) span wing has an area of 12.6 m2 (136 sq ft) and uses 45° Dornier wingtips. Standard engines are the 80 hp (60 kW) Rotax 912UL and the 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS four-stroke powerplants. The ultralight version has a maximum gross weight of 450 kg (992 lb), whereas the amateur-built version has a maximum gross weight of 520 kg (1,146 lb).
As of February 2024, the type is no longer mentioned on the company website, indicating termination of production.

Why this record matters
The phrase “type of aircraft” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 9, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q5629015. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2024.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
