The **FUL MA 30 Graffiti** is a German [ultralight trike](/source/Ultralight_trike), designed and produced by [Fachschule für Ultraleicht und Motorflug](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Fachschule_f%C3%BCr_Ultraleicht_und_Motorflug&action=edit&redlink=1) (English: Professional School for Ultralights and Motorized Aircraft) of [Hörselberg-Hainich](/source/H%C3%B6rselberg-Hainich), [Thuringia](/source/Thuringia). The aircraft is supplied as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft.[1]

The manufacturer is a [flying school](/source/Flying_school) and aircraft importer that decided to produce their own model ultralight trike.[1]

## Design and development

The Graffiti was designed to comply with the [Fédération Aéronautique Internationale](/source/F%C3%A9d%C3%A9ration_A%C3%A9ronautique_Internationale) [microlight](/source/Microlight) category, including the category's maximum gross weight of 450 kg (992 lb). The aircraft has a maximum gross weight of 400 kg (882 lb). It features a [cable-braced](/source/Flying_wires) [hang glider](/source/Hang_glider)-style [high-wing](/source/High-wing), weight-shift controls, a two-seats-in-[tandem](/source/Tandem) open cockpit with a [cockpit fairing](/source/Cockpit_fairing), [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 aircraft is made from bolted-together [aluminum](/source/Aluminum) tubing joined by [titanium](/source/Titanium) fittings, with its double surface wing covered in [Dacron](/source/Dacron) sailcloth. Its 10.1 m (33.1 ft) span wing is supported by a single tube-type [kingpost](/source/Kingpost) and uses an "A" frame weight-shift control bar. The standard powerplant is a twin cylinder, liquid-cooled, [two-stroke](/source/Two-stroke), [dual-ignition](/source/Dual-ignition) 64 hp (48 kW) [Rotax 582](/source/Rotax_582) engine, but a wide range of engines are available. With the Rotax 582 powerplant the aircraft has an empty weight of 185 kg (408 lb) and a gross weight of 400 kg (882 lb), giving a useful load of 215 kg (474 lb). With full fuel of 42 litres (9.2 imp gal; 11 US gal) the payload is 185 kg (408 lb).[1]

The aircraft has some unique features: the seat assembly and engine mount are integrated and the fuel tank will automatically depart the aircraft in the event of an impact. A wide range of different wings can be fitted to the basic carriage.[1]
