SKYRUNNER – THE WORLD’S FIRST
FLYING POWERSPORTS VEHICLE
The all-new SkyRunner is a military-grade powersports vehicle that
conquers anything in its path – Then it takes to the sky using its rear
mounted propellor. Flying has never been easier.

ONE VEHICLE,
A WORLD OF ADVENTURE
SkyRunner is the ultimate recreational vehicle combining off-road
adventure with powered paragliding. It can be transformed from
powersports vehicle to light-sports aircraft in a matter of minutes using
the latest ram-air parafoil wing technology.
With relatively short takeoff and landing needs, open fields, grass strips
and secluded beaches are the runways of choice. Once airborne,
SkyRunner can reach air speeds of 45mph whilst soaring up to a
maximum regulated altitude of 10,000 feet.
SkyRunner is the ultimate sightseeing recreational aircraft that offers
you an exhilarating experience and true sense of adventure. SkyRunner
allows pilots to see the world from a low vantage point that is not safely
attainable by most fixed-wing airplanes.

EXTERIOR – AGGRESSIVE
SPORTY LOOK
With its aggressive, angular appearance and exposed tubular
exoskeleton, SkyRunner is stylishly capable, without compromise.
The body construction uses seamless air-hardened, heat-treated steel
tubing to achieve immense strength allied to lower weight penalties.
The open architecture delivers a stripped back driving experience that
leaps into the cockpit for an exhilarating ride expressively combining
sporty handling with a balance that is surefooted and stable.
SkyRunner’s pressurised-nitrogen inverted double wishbone
suspension is the perfect partner to its inherent chassis control, which
helps in handling either rough roads or sharp corners with equal poise
and supple precision.
SkyRunner is built for those who want to take life head-on and make
every day behind the wheel a thrilling experience and a new adventure.

FUNCTIONAL INTERIOR &
INTUITIVE FLIGHT CONTROLS
Similar to a fighter jet, pilot and passenger are seated in-line for
optimal performance and balance. SkyRunner’s open cockpit
design provides superb high-visibility for increased safety and
enjoyment of the world around you. The logical instrument layout
devoid of distracting dials, switches and buttons keeps your
focus where it belongs – outside.
Once airborne, SkyRunner has only two flight controls – handles
for left and right steering and throttle pedal to climb or descend.
This intuitive flight system makes SkyRunner one of the easiest
and safest forms of flight to master and offers an unmatched
flying experience.

LEARN TO FLY – BECOME A SPORT PILOT
Light Sport Certification
If you are an aviation enthusiast seeking your first pilot certificate,
the sport pilot certificate provides one of the easiest and most
inexpensive ways to fly for fun and recreation. You can think of it as
a sort of middle-ground between becoming an ultralight pilot and a
full-fledged private pilot. Unlike ultralight pilots, sport pilots can carry
a passenger and operate in certain types of controlled airspace,
but may not fly at night and are limited to lighter and lower-powered
aircraft than those available to private pilots.
Required Training for the LSA Categories:
Airplane: 20 Hours
Weight-Shift-Control (Trikes): 20 Hours
Rotorcraft (gyroplane only): 20 Hours
Lighter-Than-Air, Airship: 20 Hours
Powered Parachute: 12 Hours
