Design and development

The MH-46 was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules and intended for personal use and flight training. It features a strut-braced high-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit, fixed tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration. [1] [2]

The aircraft is made from composites. Its 9.71 m (31.9 ft) span wing is supported by a single strut on each side. Standard engines available are the 64 hp (48 kW) Rotax 582 two-stroke and the 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS four-stroke powerplant. The cockpit was designed for comfort and is 1.2 m (47 in) wide at the pilot's elbow. [1] [2]
