Company Profile

Antares LLC is located on the premises of Arctic Sparrow Aircraft, Inc. at Birchwood Airport in Chugiak Alaska. Arctic Sparrow is a full service flight school that offers flight and ground school training by Mike Jacober. Jacober and Antares designer Sergey Zozulya are working closely together to offer the flex wing community a quality product. The Antares trike born from the desire to fly by its Ukrainian designer Sergey Zozulya has many aerial accomplishments in its portfolio of aviation activities. The first prototype of the Antares was built in the late 1980s for sport competitions, and the first models of the MA-30 were manufactured in 1991. In 1992 Zozulya along with three other trikes, flown by pilots from the Czech Republic, Russia and the Ukraine took off from Uelen, Chukotka and landed at Wales, Alaska. The trek made them the first to successfully fly Ultralight (Microlight) aircraft from the Eurasian Continent to the North America crossing the Bering Strait. Two Antares and two other trikes crossed the Strait on April 1, 1992 flying over frozen ice pack broken by currents from the chilly Arctic Ocean braving high winds whipping snow off the mountains at the Cape Prince of Wales toward the East Cape. In May the following year Mike Jacober and Joel Wallace decided to fly from Talkeetna to the base camp of 20,320-foot Mt. McKinley in Alaska. Jacober on a whim decided to fly over the summit of \"Denali\" the great one in his MA-31 trike fitted with a UFO wing. By flying over the peaks summit at an altitude of 20.500 feet equipped with oxygen Jacober went on record as the first to fly over the mountain in an Ultralight. But the \"firsts\" don\'t stop there. The Antares designed and built for strength offers titanium parts such as the front forks and wheel hub assemblies, as well as anodized parts, and powder coated tubing to thwart wear and tear and corrosion. Antares with its triangular engineering, distinctive fairing and landing gear is a durable aircraft capable of flying on wheels, tundra tires, skis or floats anyplace in the world. Today over 250 Antares are flying in the sky above our planet. Currently there are many more being built in Alaska from homebuilt kits. With dealerships in Alaska, Germany, and South Africa Antares trikes are not just another choice, but a way of life for safe, fun recreational flying!
