This light single-seat helicopter was built in the Melbourne suburb of Black Rock and is believed to have been completed in about 1948. It took about two-years to complete and is thought to be, if not the first, one of the first helicopters designed and built in Australia.
The Aerolite light aircraft series was constructed and marketed in the early 1990s by Australian Aviation Works of Donvale, VIC, the prototype being placed on display at the Australian International Airshow at Avalon.
The Acro Sport was designed by the late Mr Paul Poberezny, President of the Experimental Aircraft Association of America, specifically for construction by persons with no experience in building aircraft.
