CITIUS





   His name has is roots in ancient Latin and means "faster". Built entirely in aeronautical aluminum, CITIUS is easy to fly, offering through its measures, an unprecedented onboard comfort.
The wing profile seems clean and the edge as a wingtip specifically created to improve the flight, either at high or at low speeds. The fuselage was carefully rounded and a detailed aerodynamic study has enabled a range of cruise speeds ranging from 45km/h to 195Km/h.
The original windows arrangement allows a visibility of 360 degrees and transmits the pilot a feeling of unequal brightness.
The rear fuselage was studied to increase the angle of rotation during take-off, allowing high angles of incidence, thus avoiding the tail to touch the ground during a sudden off and getting out of the turbulence making it more efficient.
There are two types of engines:
  • Rotax 912 UL [80 HP]
  • Rotax 912 ULS [100 HP]
