Intended as a more basic model than the Aeros-2 for off-airport use, the Cross Country features a cable-braced hang glider-style high-wing, weight-shift controls, a two-seats-in-tandem open cockpit, tricycle landing gear and a single engine in pusher configuration.[1][2][3]
The aircraft is made from tubing, with its wing covered in Dacron sailcloth. Its 10.3 m (33.8 ft) span wing is supported by a single tube-type kingpost and uses an "A" frame control bar. Unlike the Aeros-2 the Cross Country does not have a cockpit fairing and sports heavy duty main wheel suspension for rough fields.[1][2][3]
Engines available include the twin cylinder, two-stroke, air-cooled 50 hp (37 kW) Rotax 503, the liquid-cooled 64 hp (48 kW) Rotax 582, the four cylinder four-stroke 80 hp (60 kW) Rotax 912UL and 100 hp (75 kW) 912ULS or the certified 912A or S. The BMW K-1100 ULS powerplant is also optional. Available wings to be mated to the carriage are the Aeros Profi, Aeros Stranger, Aeros Stream and Aeros Still.[1][2][3][4]
An aerial application kit to allow crop spraying was available as an option.[1]
