Design and development

The ArGO was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI) microlight rules and US light-sport aircraft (LSA) rules, with different versions at different gross weights for each category. It features a strut-braced high-wing, an enclosed cabin with two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration accessed by doors, fixed tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration. [1]

The aircraft fuselage is made from welded steel tubing covered in aluminum sheet. The flying surfaces are made from aluminum sheet. Its 9.00 m (29.5 ft) span wing has an area of 9.90 m2 (106.6 sq ft) and mounts Fowler flaps. Standard engines available are the 80 hp (60 kW) Rotax 912UL and the 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS four-stroke powerplants. [1] [2]
