Design and development

edit

The aircraft was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules. It features a cantilever low-wing, a single-seat, enclosed cockpit with a bubble canopy, fixed conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.[1][2]

The 212 Solo is made from carbon fibre and was derived from the ATEC 321 Faeta and ATEC 122 Zephyr 2000 designs. Its 7.48 m (24.5 ft) span wing employs an SM701 airfoil and slotted flaps. Standard engines available are the 64 hp (48 kW) Rotax 582 two-stroke and the 80 hp (60 kW) Rotax 912UL four-stroke powerplant.[1][2]
