The Shark, which was formally announced at AERO Friedrichshafen in April 2007, was designed to fit into both European UL and US LSA categories.

[1] The fuselage of the Shark is formed with integral fin, seat backs, floors and instrument panel.

From the fin forward the upper fuselage line rises rapidly to merge into the side hinged, single piece canopy.

[7] In 2021 and early 2022, 19-year-old British-Belgian pilot Zara Rutherford flew a Shark UL variant on an around-the-world flight.

[8][9][10][11] On 24 August 2022, Zara's brother, Mack Rutherford, age 17, landed in Sofia, Bulgaria, thus becoming the youngest pilot to fly solo around the world.
