Design and development

The aircraft was designed to comply with the EC 216/2008 Annex 2 (j) rules for deregulated class under 70 kg (154 lb) empty weight. It features a joined wing box wing, a single-seat open cockpit without a windshield, a hull for water operations, but no wheeled landing gear and a single electric engine in tractor configuration mounted above the cockpit. [1] [2] [3] [6]

The aircraft is made from carbon fibre. Its 4.8 m (15.7 ft) span wing has no flaps. The initial plan was to produce several models with different powerplant options, including a two-stroke powered ultralight, a high-powered racing model and an electric model. The company has more recently announced that only the electric model will be produced, citing that "it's quiet, efficient, eco-friendly and it's easy to maintain". The aircraft wing can be removed for storage or ground transportation. [1] [2] [6]
