Welcome to Barry Smith’s ACRO website

The world of serious sport and competition aerobatics is now almost
exclusively dominated by aeroplanes that are operationally expensive,
even in the lower competition levels, effectively preventing access to
pilots with less expendable incomes. In a sport that needs lots of
regular practise to develop the essential skills, it’s inevitable that
much talent is unnecessarily lost.

 

 

 

As the cost of fuel increases across the world, operationally affordable but competition capable aeroplanes must one day become fashionable and create a viable market to produce them. In the meantime, in retirement, my vocation and enthusiasm continues in the design, development and operation of affordable aerobatic engines and aeroplanes. I’m now spending more time working on these things and when that work is done I intend to publish details of my years of research and development.

 

Have fun! - Barry
