[1] The SkyCruiser features a single main rotor, a two-seats-in tandem open cockpit with a windshield, tricycle landing gear with wheel pants, plus a tail caster and a four-cylinder, liquid and air-cooled, four stroke 115 hp (86 kW) Rotax 914 turbocharged engine or modified 125 hp (93 kW) turbocharged Rotax 912 in pusher configuration.
[1][2] The aircraft fuselage is made from composites and has a two-bladed rotor with a diameter of 8.4 m (27.6 ft) and an electronic pre-rotator.
When the electronic pre-rotator for the main rotor is engaged the pusher propeller automatically goes to flat pitch and creates no thrust.
When the pilot moved the control stick aft to take-off the propeller automatically goes to best climb setting.
[1] In 2011 an improved version was introduced called the SC-200 "New Face", with aesthetic changes, including a more rounded cockpit fairing and wider cockpit seating.
