The aircraft is supplied as a kit for [amateur construction](/source/Homebuilt_aircraft) or as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft.[1] ## Design and development The aircraft was designed to comply with the [Fédération Aéronautique Internationale](/source/F%C3%A9d%C3%A9ration_A%C3%A9ronautique_Internationale) [microlight](/source/Microlight) category and the US [light-sport aircraft](/source/Light-sport_aircraft) category. It features a [cable-braced](/source/Flying_wires) or [strut-braced](/source/Strut-braced) [hang glider](/source/Hang_glider)-style [high-wing](/source/High-wing), weight-shift controls, a two-seats-in-[tandem](/source/Tandem), open cockpit, [tricycle landing gear](/source/Tricycle_landing_gear) with [wheel pants](/source/Wheel_pants) and a single engine in [pusher configuration](/source/Pusher_configuration).[1] The Delta Jet is accepted in the United States as both an Experimental and Special [Light-sport aircraft](/source/Light-sport_aircraft).[2][3] The aircraft is made from bolted-together [aluminum](/source/Aluminum) tubing, with its double surface wing covered in [Dacron](/source/Dacron) sailcloth. The aircraft uses an "A" frame weight-shift control bar. The powerplant options include the twin cylinder, liquid-cooled, [two-stroke](/source/Two-stroke), [dual-ignition](/source/Dual-ignition) 64 hp (48 kW) [Rotax 582](/source/Rotax_582) engine, the four cylinder, air and liquid-cooled, [four-stroke](/source/Four-stroke), [dual-ignition](/source/Dual-ignition) 80 hp (60 kW) [Rotax 912](/source/Rotax_912) or 100 hp (75 kW) [Rotax 912S](/source/Rotax_912S) engine. In its AS-III model the aircraft has an empty weight of 236 kg (520 lb) and a gross weight of 472.5 kg (1,042 lb), giving a useful load of 236.5 kg (521 lb). With full fuel of 55 litres (12 imp gal; 15 US gal) the payload is 196.5 kg (433 lb).[1] A number of different wings can be fitted to the basic carriage, including the cable-braced [Aeros Profi](/source/Aeros_Profi), the strut-braced [Aeros Profi TL](/source/Aeros_Profi_TL) and the [Apollo Reflex](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Apollo_Reflex&action=edit&redlink=1) 11 or 13.[1] ## Variants **Delta Jet** - Base model with an empty weight of 180 kg (397 lb)[1] **Delta Jet AS-III** - Equipped model with an empty weight of 236 kg (520 lb)[1] **Delta Jet 2** - Improved and fully equipped model[4] ## Specifications (AS-III) *Data from* Bayerl[1] **General characteristics** - **Crew:** one - **Capacity:** one passenger - **Wingspan:** 10.0 m (32 ft 10 in) - **Wing area:** 14.5 m2 (156 sq ft) - **Empty weight:** 236 kg (520 lb) - **Gross weight:** 472.5 kg (1,042 lb) - **Fuel capacity:** 55 litres (12 imp gal; 15 US gal) - **Powerplant:** 1 × [Rotax 912ULS](/source/Rotax_912ULS) four cylinder, liquid and air-cooled, [four stroke](/source/Four_stroke) [aircraft engine](/source/Aircraft_engine), 75 kW (101 hp) - **Propellers:** 3-bladed composite **Performance** - **Maximum speed:** 160 km/h (99 mph, 86 kn) - **Cruise speed:** 130 km/h (81 mph, 70 kn) - **Stall speed:** 64 km/h (40 mph, 35 kn) - **Rate of climb:** 7 m/s (1,400 ft/min) - **Wing loading:** 32.6 kg/m2 (6.7 lb/sq ft) ## References 1. ^ [***a***](#cite_ref-WDLA11_1-0) [***b***](#cite_ref-WDLA11_1-1) [***c***](#cite_ref-WDLA11_1-2) [***d***](#cite_ref-WDLA11_1-3) [***e***](#cite_ref-WDLA11_1-4) [***f***](#cite_ref-WDLA11_1-5) [***g***](#cite_ref-WDLA11_1-6) Bayerl, Robby; Martin Berkemeier; et al.: *World Directory of Leisure Aviation 2011-12*, page 204.
