Design and development

The Gannet is an evolution of the Mascato S100 which was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules. It features a cantilever high-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit, under a forward-hinged bubble canopy, wing-tip pontoons and a single engine in pusher configuration. As a true flying boat, it has no wheeled landing gear. [1] [2]

The Gannet is made entirely from carbon fibre, Kevlar and fibreglass composites. Its 12.4 m (40.7 ft) span wing has an area of 12.0 m2 (129 sq ft) and flaps that can be deployed for landing and reflexed for cruise flight. The long wingspan gives the aircraft a good glide ratio and allows power-off soaring flights. The standard engine is the 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS four-stroke powerplant and the aircraft can accept engines of 60 to 100 hp (45 to 75 kW). [1] [2] [3]

An amphibious development became the Freedom S100. [1]
