[1] Although the aircraft was designed before the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules came into force, the U-2 Superwing complies with them anyway (including the category's maximum empty weight of 254 lb (115 kg)).

It features a cantilever mid-wing, a single-seat enclosed cockpit, tricycle landing gear and a single engine in pusher configuration.

Its 34 ft (10.4 m) span wing employs a modified Wortmann FX05-191 airfoil.

The main landing gear has suspension and the nose wheel is steerable and equipped with a brake.

[1][2] The U-2 can accept a variety of engines ranging from 25 to 40 hp (19 to 30 kW) mounted in pusher configuration.
