[1] The Vityaz was designed to comply with the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules as well as European regulations.
It features a paraglider-style wing, single-place or two-place accommodation and a single engine in pusher configuration.
Early versions were powered by a Zanzottera MZ 34 27.5 hp (21 kW) motor with a 2.5:1 ratio reduction drive and a 125 cm (49 in) diameter two-bladed wooden propeller.
Later versions feature a Simonini Mini 2 Plus of 28 hp (21 kW) or a Simonini Mini 2 Evo of 33 hp (25 kW) and a two-bladed wooden propeller.
Inflight steering is accomplished via handles that actuate the canopy brakes, creating roll and yaw.
