The aircraft was developed from the Flylight Dragonfly single place, retractable landing gear trike. The E-Dragon features a cable-braced hang glider-style high-wing, weight-shift controls, a single-seat open cockpit without a cockpit fairing, retractable tricycle landing gear and a single electric motor in pusher configuration.
The aircraft is made from bolted-together aluminum tubing, with its double surface wing covered in Dacron sailcloth. Its 10.31NaN1 span wing is supported by a single tube-type kingpost and uses an "A" frame weight-shift control bar. The powerplant is a 100NaN0 Geiger HP Direct 10 electric motor powering a folding 1400NaN0 propeller. The power source is a 2.6 kWh Lithium ion battery, which provides a normal flight duration of 30 minutes or 15 minutes at full power.
A number of different engines have been tested, including an E-Lift 100NaN0 plus an electric powerplant of 13.50NaN0. The prototype used an Aeros Discus wing.
