Design and development

The GP One was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules. It features a cantilever high-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit accessed by doors, fixed tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.[1]

The aircraft is made from carbon fibre and has a predicted empty weight of 280 kg (617 lb). Its 10.2 m (33.5 ft) span wing has an area of 11.165 m2 (120.18 sq ft) and mounts flaps. The standard engine available is the 80 hp (60 kW) Rotax 912UL four-stroke powerplant. Deliveries were expected to start in 2012.[1]
