Design and development

Aeros del Sur is the importer of Aeros products for Argentina. The Manta was designed by mating the Aeros Profi trike wing with a new, locally designed carriage. The Manta was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight category, including the category's maximum gross weight of 472.5 kg (1,042 lb), with a ballistic parachute. The Manta has a maximum gross weight of 472.5 kg (1,042 lb). It features a cable-braced hang glider-style high-wing, weight-shift controls, a two-seats-in-tandem, open cockpit, tricycle landing gear with wheel pants and a single engine in pusher configuration. [1]

The aircraft is made from a mix of bolted-together aluminium and steel tubing, with its double surface wing covered in Dacron sailcloth. Its 10 m (32.8 ft) span wing is supported by a single tube-type kingpost and uses an "A" frame weight-shift control bar. The standard powerplant is a twin cylinder, liquid-cooled, two-stroke, dual-ignition 64 hp (48 kW) Rotax 582 engine, but the HKS 700E four-stroke, dual-ignition 60 hp (45 kW) engine is optional, as are Hirth and Simonini powerplants.
