Design and development

The Corvus Fusion is an all composite aircraft offered either as a factory built aircraft or as a kit. It was conceived by Andras Voloscsuk, Chief Executive Engineer, as "... an ultralight aircraft for enthusiasts who would love to try something similar that the Racer 540 can do." [2] It was announced in August 2011 and introduced 27 January 2012 in Pordenone, Italy. [1]

The Corvus Fusion features an inverted oil system and a symmetrical airfoil, which allows it to fly equally well either upright or inverted. [2] It is available with either conventional landing gear or tricycle gear [3] and with a ballistic parachute.

During a demo flight on 30 March 2012, a Corvus Fusion was flown through several aerobatic manoeuvres including loops and barrel rolls. [4]
