The aircraft was designed as a simple trike, with an exceptional payload, to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight category, including the category's maximum gross weight of 4500NaN0. The aircraft has a maximum gross weight of 4000NaN0. It features a cable-braced hang glider-style high-wing, weight-shift controls, a two-seats-in-tandem open cockpit without a cockpit fairing, tricycle landing gear with wheel pants and a single engine in pusher configuration.
The aircraft is made from bolted-together aluminum tubing, with its single surface wing covered in Dacron sailcloth. Its 10.31NaN1 span DTA Dynamic 16 wing is supported by a single tube-type kingpost and uses an "A" frame weight-shift control bar. The powerplant is a twin cylinder, air-cooled, two-stroke, dual-ignition 500NaN0 Rotax 503 engine, with the liquid cooled 640NaN0 Rotax 582, the four cylinder, air and liquid-cooled, four-stroke, dual-ignition 800NaN0 Rotax 912 or 1000NaN0 Rotax 912S engines optional.[2]
With the Rotax 503 and the Dynamic 16 wing, the aircraft has an empty weight of 1660NaN0 and a gross weight of 4000NaN0, giving a useful load of 2340NaN0. With full fuel of the payload is 1980NaN0.
A number of different wings can be fitted to the basic carriage, including the DTA Dynamic, DTA Diva and the strut-braced DTA Magic.
In September 2003 a French flying team flew an Evolution from Paris to Dakar, making use of the aircraft's high payload to carry all needed supplies.
