The Pro.Mecc Freccia Anemo (English: Fast Arrow) is an Italian ultralight aircraft, designed and produced by Pro.Mecc of Corigliano d'Otranto. The aircraft was introduced at the Aero show held in Friedrichshafen in 2011. The Freccia is supplied as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft.[1]
Design and development
The Freccia was derived from the earlier Pro.Mecc Sparviero, with additional streamlining and a new elliptical wing planform. It was designed to conform to the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules. It features a cantilever low-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit under a bubble canopy, fixed or, optionally, retractable tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.[1]
The aircraft is made from carbon fibre. Its 8.78 m (28.8 ft) span wing has an area of 10.18 m2 (109.6 sq ft) and double slotted flaps to allow a low stall speed. The standard engine fitted is the 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS four-stroke powerplant.[1]
