Quantum Sport

Conceived as a modular aircraft, the Quantum came in various forms from fairly simple to very slick. The Quantum came with the Rotax 462 or 582, and Q2 wing.

The top of the range Quantum 912 is structurally essentially the same as the Quantum Sport, complete with articulated monopole, fairings and under seat storage bins.

Pegasus Aviation Quik

TerryLeave a comment

The QUIK is a light handling small wing with a hands off trim speed in excess of 80 mph, and a level speed of 100 mph making distance touring a reality and ground handling simplicity itself. The Quantum’s 409 kg MAUW is retained, but the payload has increased due to the aircraft’s lighter weight. The Quik has larger seating, more rearward headroom for the passenger and more wind protection compared to the Quantum.
