The ELA 07 is a series of Spanish autogyros, designed and produced by ELA Aviación of Córdoba, Andalusia. The aircraft are supplied complete and ready to fly.
The ELA 07 series features a single main rotor, a two-seats-in-tandem open cockpit with a windshield, tricycle landing gear with wheel pants and a four-cylinder, air-cooled, four-stroke, dual-ignition 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912S engine in pusher configuration. The turbocharged 115 hp (86 kW) Rotax 914 powerplant is optional.
The aircraft fuselage is made from TIG welded, CNC laser-cut stainless steel tubing for corrosion resistance. The cockpit fairing is non-structural carbon fibre and resin. Its 8.23 m (27.0 ft) diameter rotor has a chord of 22 cm (8.7 in) and is mounted to a rotor head made from a combination of stainless steel and 7075 T6 aluminium. The triple tail is also made from carbon fibre and resin. Equipment fitted includes a pre-rotator, pneumatic pitch trim and mechanical roll trim. The Cougar version has an empty weight of 250 kg (550 lb) and a gross weight of 450 kg (990 lb), giving a useful load of 200 kg (440 lb). A forward baggage compartment with a volume of 60 litres (13 imp gal; 16 US gal) is optional.
By January 2013 two examples had been registered in the United Kingdom with the Civil Aviation Authority.
