The Aviasud AE-209 Albatros is a two-seat high-wing ultralight aircraft. Aviasud Engineering from Fréjus, France developed this largely from strengthened synthetic built 2-seat highwing ULM-aeroplane with push-propeller. Production of the AE-209 Albatros started in 1992. The Albatros is available with the 2-stroke Rotax 582 and the 4-stroke Rotax 912 engine. The Albatros classique is equipped with a tail wheel; the Albatros tricycle is equipped wit a nose wheel or tail wheel. The wings can be folded, which reduces the needed parking space in the hangar.

In June 1993, the registered type was changed to Aviasud AE-209 Albatros. The Regional Police Noord-Brabant Zuid-Oost examined in practice what the (im) possibilities with the ultralight aircraft were for, among other things, security tasks.
