[1][2][3][4] The Aquilla was derived from the earlier Solo Wings Windlass and designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight category, including the category's maximum gross weight of 450 kg (992 lb).
It features a cable-braced hang glider-style high-wing, weight-shift controls, a two-seats-in-tandem open cockpit, tricycle landing gear and a single engine in pusher configuration.
[1][3][4] The aircraft is made from tubing, with its wing covered in Dacron sailcloth.
Its 34 ft (10.4 m) span wing is supported by a single tube-type kingpost and uses an "A" frame control bar.
