The Rossi Shuttle Quik is an Italian ultralight trike that was designed by Paolo Rossi and produced by Rossi Soavi Paolo of Camposanto. When it was available the aircraft was supplied as custom-built, ready-to-fly-aircraft.〔Bayerl, Robby; Martin Berkemeier; et al: ''World Directory of Leisure Aviation 2011-12'', page 220. WDLA UK, Lancaster UK, 2011. ISSN 1368-485X〕 The company appears to be out of business and production of the design completed. ==Design and development== The Shuttle Quik was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight category, including the category's maximum gross weight of . Each Rossi aircraft was built to order, but a typical Shuttle Quik has a maximum gross weight of . It features a cable-braced P&M Quik hang glider-style high-wing, weight-shift controls, a two-seats-in-tandem open cockpit with a cockpit fairing, tricycle landing gear with wheel pants and a single engine in pusher configuration.〔 The aircraft is made from bolted-together aluminum tubing, with its double surface wing covered in Dacron sailcloth. Its span wing is supported by a single tube-type kingpost and uses an "A" frame weight-shift control bar. The powerplant is a four-stroke, RM engine or a four cylinder, air and liquid-cooled, four-stroke, dual-ignition Rotax 912ULS engine.〔 P&M Aviation do not normally supply wings to other manufacturers, but they had a longstanding relationship with Rossi that made them confident to do so in his case.〔 With the RM powerplant, the Shuttle Quik may be the most powerful ultralight trike flown.〔 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「Rossi Shuttle Quik」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
