The Airborne Redback is an Australian two-seat flying wing ultralight trike designed and produced by Airborne Windsports.〔Bertrand, Noel; Rene Coulon; et al: ''World Directory of Leisure Aviation 2003-04'', page 92. Pagefast Ltd, Lancaster OK, 2003. ISSN 1368-485X〕 The aircraft is named for the native Australian Redback spider.〔 ==Design and development== The aircraft was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight category, including the category's maximum gross weight of . The aircraft has a maximum gross weight of . 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.〔 The aircraft's Wizard model wing is made from bolted-together aluminium tubing, with its single surface covered in Dacron sailcloth. Its span wing is supported by a single tube-type kingpost and uses an "A" frame control bar. The standard powerplant is the Rotax 503 twin cylinder, air-cooled, two-stroke aircraft engine.〔 When introduced the Redback was a single configuration model, with no cockpit fairing and no options available. In 2012 the model has evolved and offers tundra tires, intake and exhaust silencer, training bars and an aero-tow system as optional equipment.〔 Reviewers Noel Bertrand et al., writing about the ''no-options approach'' in 2003 said, "The Red Back only exists in one configuration with no options — an intelligent course of action taken by this Australian manufacturer made possible by the very complete specification...All the right ingredients are there; Australian and American pilots adore them."〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Airborne Redback」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
