AirBorne's New 2-Stroke V-Lite

AirBorne's new sub-155 pound, 2-stroke, single-seat V-Lite is now in production.  This Very Lite trike is almost 50 pounds lighter than the 4-Stroke T-Lite (which weighs 198 lbs.).

The engine for this tiny aircraft will be the Thor Polini 2-stroke engine.  This little engine was 30 pounds and puts out 20.5 HP.

The wing is based on a modified F2 (Fun) hang-glider plan form, which is a single-surface wing.  And for those of you who are hang-glider pilots -- with a conversion kit you can use this wing as a hang-gliding wing as well as a V-Lite wing.

This trike is designed to be a true soaring trike, capable of taking full advantage of thermal lift.

Stay tuned for more details as they become available.
