Thruster Air Services at
Wickenby Airfield is open for
business, with full A1 & F1
CAA approval to build, modify
and test the Thruster series
of microlight. We support all
Thruster models from the
TSTs to the latest Sprints.
The British built Thruster aircraft is known for it’s ruggedness
and affordability with owners varying from first-time pilots,
though to flying schools and professional commuters.
A tried and tested design, the Thruster is a remarkably capable
aircraft with some innovative designs and an excellent safety
record. It’s short field performance is exemplary, making
nearly every field a potential landing site.
The T600 with Jabiru 2200A engine cruises at 65 knots (75
mph) and has a maximum climb rate of 1200ft a minute.
With a 50 litre fuel tank and fuel burn of as little as 10 litres
an hour, you can easily make it across the UK or in to Europe!
The Thruster is the most fun
you will have in the air for a
price that will not break the
bank. Please contact us for
more information - we’ll be
happy to discuss anything
Thruster with you.
