Klub Siniaya Ptica SPM

Single seat single engined flex wing aircraft with hybrid control. Rogallo wing; tail carries rudder and horizontal stabiliser. Pilot suspended below wing in trike unit, using bar to control pitch and roll by altering relative positions of trike unit and wing. Control input through pedals for yaw. Wing braced from above by kingpost and cables, from below by cables. Undercarriage has three wheels in tricycle formation. Engine mounted below wing driving pusher propeller.
Two Rogallo winged microlights are known to have been produced under the umbrella of this organisation, both of them attributed to Yevgueni Chevcheriko. As such they are hybrid control aircraft and are best described as ‘trike plus rudder on trike unit’. The trike unit is hung from the Rogallo in the normal way and the relative positions of the two can be altered to give pitch and roll control, just as in any other trike, but instead of relying on roll to initiate yaw, a separate rudder is attached to the rear of the trike unit, controlled by rudder pedals.
The Russian aircraft have a horizontal stabiliser behind the pilot. The Ptica 2, the earlier of the two Russian designs, has a large windscreen. The Ptica 2 has a 42 hp engine, 4 hp less than the SPM.
The initials SPM stand for Siniaya Ptica Modernisovanna, and it is basically an updated version of the Ptica 2.

I-TEC Maverick

The I-TEC Maverick is a powered parachute aircraft with a roadable fuselage. Equipped with the largest powered parachute certified by the FAA, the Maverick received experimental aircraft airworthiness certification on April 14, 2008, with N-Number 356MV.

prototype flight

Capable of interstate speeds on pavement, the Maverick’s dune buggy-like frame of chromoly tubing gives it the ability to be used off-road. Additionally, the vehicle can deploy a parafoil and fly as a powered parachute, it weighs about 1100 pounds and has a useful carrying capacity equivalent to a Cessna 172 (fuel and 550 pounds cargo). With a 22-foot mast, the Maverick can take off and land in weather conditions that other powered parachutes would not be able to safely operate in. Steve Saint has said he envisions the Maverick being useful to the Huaorani and other Indian groups, farmers and ranchers, pipeline inspection crews and anyone else with a requirement to traverse rough, roadless ground. Popular Mechanics gave it their Breakthrough Award in 2009. In 2012, the Maverick was accepted by the United States FAA to operate as an Experimental homebuilt, S-LSA, or E-LSA.
