[1][2] The Transat was designed to comply with both French microlight and US light-sport aircraft rules.

It features a biplane layout with two seats in side-by-side configuration within an enclosed cockpit, fixed conventional landing gear and a single engine in pusher configuration.

The standard powerplant is a 80 hp (60 kW) BMW 1100RS fuel injected, four-stroke engine.

The landing gear is retracted electrically, with a back-up manual system.

The Transat is advertised as the only amphibious microlight that can take-off from water at maximum gross weight in under 15 seconds.
