The Livella Uno was designed to comply with the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles and the European 120 kg class ultralight aircraft rules. It features a dual coaxial main rotors, with an inverted V-tail, a single open-air pilot's seat without a windshield, tricycle landing gear and a 400NaN0 Wankel Aixro XH40 engine.[1]
The aircraft fuselage is made from tubing. Its two-bladed rotors have a diameter of 3.81NaN1. The aircraft has a typical empty weight of 850NaN0 and a gross weight of 1950NaN0, giving a useful load of 1100NaN0.[1]
The aircraft mounts a Galaxy Rescue System ballistic parachute in the rotor mast. It also has a small electric motor to power the rotor system from a battery in the event of an engine failure, allowing five minutes of power to land, since the low inertia rotor blades may not support autorotation.[2]
