The new Solairus Soaring Trike is a very streamlined and very portable, composite light soaring trike from North Wing.
Chrome-moly reinforcement adds strength to the fiberglass composite uni-body design.  You can fly this trike with our new strutted Solairus light trike wing, your hang glider (if sail area, airframe strength, and performance are adequate), or a paraglider wing designed for power.  The streamlined shape of the Solairus reduces drag and fuel consumption, with the engine almost completely enclosed within the trike.  Very portable - breaks down to 58" long - 24" wide - 33.5" high.

The Solairus can be powered by the Polini THOR 100 or Polini THOR 200 2-stroke engines, or the Bailey V4-200 4-stroke engine.  The Solairus rear wheels also include low-drag, streamlined Wheel Fairings.  Contact Us or contact a dealer from our worldwide North Wing Dealers network to learn more about this exciting new light soaring trike.
