Design and development

[edit]
Air Creation Tanarg

The Tanarg was designed as a long-range cruising trike to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight category, including the category's maximum gross weight of 472.5 kg (1,042 lb) with a ballistic parachute. It is also an accepted Special Light-Sport Aircraft in the United States. The Tanarg features a cable-braced hang glider-style high-wing, weight-shift controls, a two-seats-in-tandem, open cockpit, tricycle landing gear with wheel pants and a single engine in pusher configuration.[1][3][4][5]

The aircraft is made from mixed constriction, with bolted-together aluminium tubing, composites and carbon fibre panels, with its double surface wing covered in Dacron sailcloth. With the BioniX wing it has a 9.85 m (32.3 ft) span that is supported by a single tube-type kingpost and uses an "A" frame weight-shift control bar. The powerplant options include the twin cylinder, liquid-cooled, two-stroke, dual-ignition 64 hp (48 kW) Rotax 582 engine and the four cylinder, air and liquid-cooled, four-stroke, dual-ignition 80 hp (60 kW) Rotax 912UL and 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS engines. With the 912 engine the aircraft has an empty weight of 249 kg (549 lb) and a gross weight of 472.5 kg (1,042 lb), giving a useful load of 223.5 kg (493 lb). With full fuel of 70 litres (15 imp gal; 18 US gal) the payload is 183 kg (403 lb).[1][3][4]

A number of different wings can be fitted to the basic trike, including the Air Creation iXess, Air Creation Nuvix, Air Creation Fun and Air Creation BioniX.[1][4]
