The Aviate Raptor is a Ultra Light “weight shift” Trike. If you want to dangle your feet off a 3000ft drop this is the one for you! |
Historically, ultralights with wings mounted above a tricycle undercarriage have been called trikes and powered hang gliders. In sport pilot/light-sport aircraft the FAA officially named this two-place light sport aircraft category a “weight shift aircraft.”Trikes first appeared in the late 1970s when hang gliders evolved from primitive delta wings to efficient flying wings with higher aspect ratios, defined airfoils, and wing twist providing stability and performance. The wings have evolved over 25 years along with hang glider wings to be highly refined performance machines. Ok, so what will you be doing on this program? Learning to fly for one thing. That includes practical and theory learning at the custom build flying resort. The training should take you 6 weeks. When you are not learning to fly you will be based at a very comfortable resort in the middle of the African bush: Teeming with African Wildlife such as Hippos, Crocs, Monkeys, Baboon, snakes, impala—the list goes on. One of the main Kruger park gates is a short car ride away and there will also be weekly social excursions to hook you into the local nightlife.
