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.
