The Parashell was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight category and the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules. It features a 120NaN0 span parachute-style wing, single-place accommodation, tricycle landing gear and a single 280NaN0 Hirth F-30 engine in pusher configuration.[1]
The aircraft carriage is built from a combination of composite materials and aluminium tubing, with a composite partial cockpit fairing. In flight steering is accomplished via handles that actuate the canopy brakes, creating roll and yaw. On the ground the aircraft has foot-pedal-controlled nosewheel steering. The main landing gear incorporates spring rod suspension.[1]
The aircraft has an empty weight of 420NaN0 and a gross weight of 2000NaN0, giving a useful load of 1580NaN0. With full fuel of the payload for crew and baggage is 1440NaN0.[1] [2]
Reviewer Jean-Pierre le Camus, writing in 2003, said the aircraft would appeal to pilots who like comfort and described the design as "beautiful" and having "visual flair".[1]
