Flying Debut for Aerospace Pegaso

摘要

The ULM Blois exhibition in France over September 1 and 2 included a flying demonstration of the new Pegaso. This high wing side-by-side two-seat light aircraft is manufactured by the Italian company, Aerospace (formerly Promecc).The Pegaso boasts an all-carbon composite design with a cantilever wing enabling it to cruise at 122kts (225km/h). Carrying the Italian ultra-light registration, I-D060, the aircraft made its first flight at the end of July and had completed nine hours' flying when it arrived at Blois. It has the same wings and tail unit as Aerospace's low-wing Freccia and is also powered by the 100hp Rotax 912ULS engine. Unlike the Freccia however, this aircraft has a fixed tricycle undercarriage. Testing is under way and deliveries should start in mid-2019.
