The designation of DFS stands for Dual Face System, referring to its ability to mount either hang glider or powered parachute wings.
The aircraft was designed to comply with the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules, including the category's maximum empty weight of 2540NaN0. The aircraft has a standard empty weight of 2120NaN0 with a Daedalus 190 hang glider wing. It features a cable-braced hang glider-style high-wing, weight-shift controls, a single-seat open cockpit, tricycle landing gear and a single engine in pusher configuration. In powered parachute mode it uses a Shuttle GRX canopy and is controlled with aerodynamic brakes.
The aircraft fuselage is made from aluminum tubing, while the hang glider wing is made from bolted-together aluminum tubing and covered in Dacron sailcloth. The hang glider wing is supported by a single tube-type kingpost and uses an "A" frame control bar. A fiberglass cockpit fairing, windshield, brakes and floats are optional. The original engine supplied was the Rotax 277 single cylinder, two-stroke, air-cooled aircraft engine of 280NaN0, which is now out-of-production. Present engines available include the 280NaN0 Zanzottera MZ 34, 280NaN0 Hirth F-33 and the 400NaN0 Rotax 447.
In 2012 the aircraft was marketed under the name DFS Single.[4]
