The AM-FIB was developed from the Polaris FIB as a result of customer demand. It was designed 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 4060NaN0. It features a cable-braced hang glider-style high-wing, weight-shift controls, a two-seats-in-tandem open cockpit, retractable tricycle landing gear mounted to its inflatable boat hull and a single engine in pusher configuration.
The aircraft's single surface wing is made from bolted-together aluminum tubing and covered in Dacron sailcloth. The 11.151NaN1 span wing is supported by a single tube-type kingpost and uses an "A" frame weight-shift control bar. The powerplant is a twin cylinder, liquid-cooled, two-stroke, dual-ignition 640NaN0 Rotax 582 engine. The main landing gear is extended and retracted with a manual crank, while the nose gear uses a catch-and-rope mechanism.
The aircraft has an empty weight of 2390NaN0 and a gross weight of 4060NaN0, giving a useful load of 1670NaN0. With full fuel of the payload is 1380NaN0.
