How would it handle a bird strike during that pass?

Sorry, but that is NOT, an ultralight. The term, “Worlds fastest Ultralight”, is an oxymoron.

The dr killer

Ah, I see the source of confusion; that is, in fact, an aeroplane and needs to be moving forward at a fair clip lest gravity catch up to it and pull it from the sky.

So it weighs 250#'s?

55 mph?

In the hands of an unlicensed pilot....
THAT can't be a good thing!

Yah, call that bullshit. If you dive, of course you will gain tremendous speed. I've red-lined a 210 at 270MPH. Doesn't mean that is the cruise speed.

Reminiscent of a WWII fighter around the end of the war.

Just get a pilots license. It's cheaper. I don't know a lot about the rules and regs of flying, but I get the feeling this thing is for pilots who can no longer pass their flight physical.

To me, it looks like an electric RC v-tail, with dubbed sound.
Just sayin.......

That reminds me of the pass that’s getting Trent Palmer’s license pulled 🤔

Imagine the stresses on the airframe! I would also gather that, enjoying the scenery is not a high priority.

Thats 120kt; maybe 125 at best... and its going downhill to get to that speed which drops off to about 100 by the time it reaches the other end... motor isn't even running at full throttle... yep, plenty light sport 912 rotax powered aircraft will hit 175kt down hill... maybe it was flying into a 50kt headwind so the groundspeed caused poor judgement... Its a bit like a modernised 90's Europa Classic with better fowler flaps; that'll do 180kt in level flight with a 914 on a calm day

State the speed in KpH to make it sound better. State it in knots, because planes use knots. 172 .7 knots suddenly doesn't sound all that impressive.

Absolutley not an ultralight in a LARGE part of the world...so WORLD fastest Ultralight is a deceptive advertising.

So this video is clearly CLICKBAIT
I'll eat my hat if that speed has been fact checked ????

Other countries ultralights do not qualify as an ultralight here. Max speed 50 mph here.

Fast but expensive. $215,000

Almost sounds like a Spitfire, awesome!

No way is that anywhere near 200.

The best feature of an ultralight vehicle is : "To fly Low & slow".

Did anyone else notice the unidentified that went across the path of the plane??? right around 29 seconds on the video.

I wonder what the fuel burn would be per hour ? I bet it's a arm and a leg !

No way that's 320..

Bruh. That's MAYBE 250km/h 🤣🤣🤣

Hmmm. Having worked in Indycar for several years, I got pretty used to small vehicles traveling fast mere yards from me. I love homebuilts and I have my Light Sport license, so I love airplanes of all sorts. I'm just saying that this aircraft does not appear to me to be traveling 198mph (329 kph). Seems more like maybe 165 - 170mph to me. But show me the data and I'll gladly shut up, because I WANT this to be true. :)

Was that Mike patey holding your beer in that clip Eva??

looks like a lot of sailplane trailers

It looks like one of those vintage rc pylon racers but with a canopy

You can do anything you want until you're caught.

Faa wants your license because you did not land and it was in an area where houses might be

Hmm commented when there were 103 comments.
Love it but that aint no ultralight.

Disregarding the qualifying as an ultralight in various countries, I believe that true ultralight fans would not be interested in such a rocket--especially considering the price!

If the FAR 103 were updated, to weight limit to say 300lb and speeds up to 120mph. The LS builders would rethink their situation.

"THAT'S A ULTRALIGHT....I don't know?"

Depends on which country you're in if this can even be classified as an "ultralight ." In the U.S. this (very sweet aircraft) would be too fast to be a LEGAL ultralight.

And with it's (shy of) 1/4 million dollar price tag I can go just as fast with my sub $100,000 experimental. 🤣 Same speed for less than half the price.

That's not an ultralight. It has 2 seats weighs more than 250lbs and exceeds 60 mph ! And is probably Ultra expensive. And how many gallons of fuel does it carry? I believe what we're looking at is a Experimental type of airplane, unless it this another European union video, then I don't know what the hell I'm talking about. My Trike is a "ultralight" no license required.

Pavullo!

Hard pass

When I first saw Risen I was immediately infatuated but could tell straight away that she would be underrated and underappreciated in her class.

So what makes it qualify as an Ultralight? Or is that just what you named it?

Sorry but I like a little more fuselage around me. I would fit like a Tuna in a Sardine can!

that looks too fun.

172 knots is still slow.

What person in aviation goes by KPH?

That is one fast machine....
