The Moragon Stela is a Spanish two-seat fixed-wing microlight aircraft designed and built Aeromoragan based at Casarrubios del Monte, Spain.[1] The aircraft was supplied as complete or as a kit for amateur construction.[1]

The Stela is a two-seat side-by-side high-wing braced monoplane with a composite structure.[1] It has a fixed tricycle landing gear and can be powered by an 80 hp (60 kW) Jabiru 2200 engine or a Rotax 912 or 912S.[1]

Aeromarmi Stella M1[edit]

The Aeromarmi Stella M1 was a light plane made under license in Mexico by Aeromarmi since 2006. It was powered by a Jabiru 3300 flat six piston engine and a Sensenich series Z propeller. However, the few sales and the elimination of the airworthiness certification by the DGAC forced the Mexican company to stop manufacturing the aircraft in 2010.[2][3]
