Jazz General information Type Ultralight trike National origin Poland Manufacturer Kompol Status In production (2013)

The **Kompol Jazz** is a Polish [ultralight trike](/source/Ultralight_trike), designed and produced by [Kompol](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kompol&action=edit&redlink=1) of [Świercze, Pułtusk County](/source/%C5%9Awiercze%2C_Pu%C5%82tusk_County). The aircraft is supplied as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft.[1]

## Design and development

The Jazz 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). 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, with its double surface wing covered in [Dacron](/source/Dacron) sailcloth. Its 9.83 m (32.3 ft) span wing is supported by a single tube-type [kingpost](/source/Kingpost) and uses an "A" frame weight-shift control bar. The standard supplied 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. The aircraft has an empty weight of 186 kg (410 lb) and a gross weight of 450 kg (992 lb), giving a useful load of 264 kg (582 lb). With full fuel of 40 litres (8.8 imp gal; 11 US gal) the payload is 235 kg (518 lb).[1]

A number of different wings can be fitted to the basic carriage, including the [Kompol Stratus](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kompol_Stratus&action=edit&redlink=1) 15 and the higher [aspect ratio](/source/Aspect_ratio_(wing)) and smaller area Stratus 13. Other manufacturer's wings can also be used.[1]

## Operational history

The Jazz has been widely used in competition flying and has won many microlight events.[1]
