Design and development

The G1SA Genesis Solo features a single main rotor, a single-seat open cockpit with a windshield, tricycle landing gear with wheel pants, plus a tail caster and a twin cylinder, liquid-cooled, two-stroke, dual-ignition 64 hp (48 kW) Rotax 582 engine in pusher configuration. Other engine options included the 80 hp (60 kW) Rotax 912 UL. [1]

The aircraft fuselage is made from bolted-together aluminum tubing and is equipped with a composite fairing. Its two-bladed rotor has a diameter of 7.0 m (23.0 ft) and a chord of .18 m (7.1 in). The aircraft has a typical empty weight of 140 kg (309 lb) and a gross weight of 300 kg (661 lb), giving a useful load of 160 kg (353 lb). With full fuel of 26 litres (5.7 imp gal; 6.9 US gal) the payload for the pilot and baggage is 142 kg (313 lb). [1]

Operational history

In a 2015 review, Werner Pfaendler wrote, "The Genesis G1sa Solo has been designed with stability and agility in mind. The centre line thrust and the design of the empennage in the propeller slipstream reduces all throttle reactions. The result is a fun machine which is very stable in flight while being very agile and maneuverable." [1]
