The AEA Explorer is a large single-engine utility aircraft.

Design and development

The explorer is a single-engined strut-braced high-wing monoplane with a retractable tricycle landing gear that retracts into under-fuselage sponsons. The prototype, designated Explorer 350R first flew in 1998 and was soon exhibited on promotional tours of Australia and the United States.
The Explorer is being offered in two versions – the turboprop-powered version, the 500T, and a stretched version of the 500T, designated 750T.
Explorer Aircraft was established in Jasper, Texas to market the aircraft for the US market.
