Working in composite materials, the company produces the Jerzy Krawczyk-designed Ekolot JK 01A Elf motorglider and two ultralight aircraft, the strut-braced Ekolot JK-05L Junior and the cantilever-wing Ekolot KR-030 Topaz. The Topaz has been accepted by the US Federal Aviation Administration as a light-sport aircraft.{{cite web|url=http://www.faa.gov/aircraft/gen_av/light_sport/media/SLSA_Directory.xls |title=SLSA Make/Model Directory |accessdate=13 January 2015 |last=Federal Aviation Administration |date=10 September 2014 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20130516004527/http://www.faa.gov/aircraft/gen_av/light_sport/media/SLSA_Directory.xls |archivedate=16 May 2013 }}
