The Airborne T-Lite is an Australian ultralight trike, designed and produced by Airborne Windsports of Redhead, New South Wales. The aircraft is supplied as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft.[1]

Design and development

The T-Lite was designed as both a cross country powered aircraft and self-launching motor glider for soaring. The aircraft was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight category as well as the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules. It 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.[1]

The aircraft is made from bolted-together aluminium tubing, with its double surface Airborne Core wing covered in Dacron sailcloth, with the top surface finished in mylar PX cloth. The Шаблон:Convert span Core wing is supported by a single tube-type kingpost and uses an "A" frame weight-shift control bar. The powerplant is a purpose-designed, single cylinder, air-cooled, four-stroke, Шаблон:Convert Bailey B200 engine, with electric starting and a 3.2:1 reduction drive. The aircraft has an empty weight of Шаблон:Convert and a gross weight of Шаблон:Convert, giving a useful load of Шаблон:Convert. With full fuel of Шаблон:Convert the payload is Шаблон:Convert. The permitted pilot weight range is Шаблон:Convert.[1][2]

The T-Lite is designed to be quickly disassembled for ground transport. The Шаблон:Convert fuel tank is located behind the pilot's seat and can be disconnected quickly to allow transporting it independently of the aircraft for refueling.[1]
