The aircraft was designed by Mark Gibson and produced by his company, GibboGear of Winter Haven, Florida, for the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight class, with the intention of reversing the trend of its period of trikes becoming heavier, more expensive, stall faster, be harder to fly and thus require more flight training. The Butterfly addresses these issues by being a simple design and by employing a single surface wing with a large 240 sq ft (22 m2) area. Similarly the carriage is simple and lacks options, to reduce cost and weight. The resulting aircraft has a low landing speed of 20 mph (32 km/h) at the cost of a low cruise speed of 25 mph (40 km/h).

The Butterfly features a cable-braced hang glider-style high-wing, weight-shift controls, a single-seat, open cockpit, tricycle landing gear and a single engine in pusher configuration. The aircraft’s single surface wing is made from bolted-together aluminum tubing, covered in Dacron sailcloth. The wing is supported by a single tube-type kingpost and uses an “A” frame control bar. When the aircraft was in production the wing was also available from the factory as a kit, as well as fully assembled. The landing gear uses tubular suspension and the nose wheel is steerable. The engines that were factory-supplied included the twin-cylinder, two-stroke air-cooled 40 hp (30 kW) Rotax 447 and 50 hp (37 kW) Rotax 503.

The aircraft was supplied as a kit for amateur construction at a 2000 price of US$10,000 but buy 2017 was out of production.

The General Aviation Design Bureau of Ukraine has constructed trike designs for other manufacturers under contract in the past, but the T-32 is their own design. The T-32 Maverick is an ultralight trike that was under development in Kiev in 2011. The aircraft is intended to be supplied as a kit for amateur construction or as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft.

The T-32 Maverick features a cable-braced hang glider-style high-wing, weight-shift controls, a three-seat open cockpit, with the pilot sitting in front and a two-seat bench in the back, with a cockpit fairing. It can be mounted on tricycle landing gear or floats and has 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 10.2 m (33.5 ft) span wing is supported by a single tube-type kingpost and uses an “A” frame weight-shift control bar. The aircraft has many powerplant options, including the twin cylinder, liquid-cooled, two-stroke, dual-ignition 64 hp (48 kW) Rotax 582 engine, the four cylinder, air and liquid-cooled, four-stroke, dual-ignition 80 hp (60 kW) Rotax 912UL or 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS engine and the turbocharged 115 hp (86 kW) Rotax 914. Automotive conversion engines of 60 to 110 hp (45 to 82 kW) can also be fitted.

As a three-seat trike the T-32 Maverick does not comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight or the US light-sport aircraft categories, which are both limited to two seats, but may fit some country’s amateur-built aircraft rules.

At least one has been built.
