All Carbon Fiber (Structure) Part 103 Ultralight Aircraft
By A Mystery Man Writer
Description
Most ultralight aircraft (officially: “ultralight vehicles”) are rather simple constructions. They must be to stay within the tight constraints of a 254-pound maximum empty weight.* That’s not a negative comment about them. Actually, it’s the opposite. To build a flying airplane that weighs less than the engine alone on a Light-Sport Aircraft, a designer has to be unusually clever. All aircraft are constrained in weight by the laws of physics. Ultralights are further constrained by regulation. A key way to keep an aircraft light is to keep it simple. Indeed most 103 ultralights are quite basic. However, as years passed some engineers have found intriguing solutions. I recently wrote about the composite Swan. Why not one using extensive carbon fiber? Carbon Corsair German developer Jörg Hollmann took a different approach, one that consumed a few years of effort. He wanted an aircraft that resembled the famous World War II F4U Corsair fighter.
