Pro.Mecc Freccia Anemo

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.

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. Engines available are the 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS, the turbocharged 115 hp (86 kW) Rotax 914 and the 130 hp (97 kW) ULPower UL350iS four-stroke powerplant.
