It features a paraglider-style high-wing, single-place accommodation and a single 19 hp (14 kW) Solo 210 engine in pusher configuration, with a hand throttle control.
[1][2] To comply with German safety requirements the Solo was initially designed with a harness that allowed jettisoning the engine package in flight.
This was required to reduce the risk of the pilot drowning in the event of a water landing and also to deal with a possible engine fire in flight.
To meet noise requirements the small two-stroke engine has a complex "wrap-around" style exhaust and extra-long muffler system that results in a low sound output.
The engine cylinder head is modified to improve cooling and drives a two-bladed carbon fibre propeller.
