Icaro Twin Electric

The Icaro Twin Electric is an Italian electric ultralight trike that was designed by World Hang Glider Champion pilot Manfred Ruhmer and under development by Icaro 2000 of Sangiano.

[1][2] The Twin Electric design features a cable-braced hang glider-style high-wing, weight-shift controls, a two-seats-in-tandem open cockpit without a cockpit fairing, tricycle landing gear and twin electric motors mounted on lateral booms, in pusher configuration.

[1] The aircraft is made from bolted-together aluminum tubing, with its single surface Rx Bip bi-place wing covered in Dacron sailcloth.

Its wing is supported by a single tube-type kingpost and uses an "A" frame weight-shift control bar.

Power is supplied by two electric motors mounted on booms, one each side of the trike frame, each driving a pusher propeller.
