Swiss Aerolight ULM

The Swiss Aerolight ULM was a two-seater with a Rotax 503. Four sets of plans were sold.

In June 2012 the two occupants of the ULM, including builder Dominique Loup, perished after the crash of their aircraft in the town of Saint-Mathieu-de-Tréviers, about twenty kilometers north of Montpellier. The aircraft had taken off a little earlier from the aerodrome of Peak Saint-Loup.

The fatal accident stopped the development.
