Design and development

The aircraft was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight category, including the category's maximum gross weight of 450 kg (992 lb). The aircraft has a maximum gross weight of 420 kg (926 lb). It features a cable-braced hang glider-style high-wing, weight-shift controls, a two-seats-in-tandem open cockpit with a cockpit fairing, tricycle landing gear with wheel pants and a single engine in pusher configuration. The landing lights are mounted in the wheel pants.[1]

The aircraft is made from bolted-together aluminum tubing, with its single surface wing covered in Dacron sailcloth. Its 10 m (32.8 ft) span Trike Icaros Millenium wing is supported by a single tube-type kingpost and uses an "A" frame weight-shift control bar. The seat assembly tilts and has an under-seat baggage compartment. The powerplant is a four-cylinder, air and liquid-cooled, four-stroke, dual-ignition 80 hp (60 kW) Rotax 912UL engine. The aircraft has an empty weight of 180 kg (397 lb) and a gross weight of 420 kg (926 lb), giving a useful load of 240 kg (529 lb). With full fuel of 50 litres (11 imp gal; 13 US gal) the payload is 204 kg (450 lb).[1]

A number of different wings can be fitted to the basic carriage, including the Trike Icaros Omega beginner wing and the high-performance Trike Icaros Xtra.[1]
