1.1.5 General Description
1.1.5.1 Base
Full Cockpit Model
The XT 582 trike base is a two seat (in-line) weight shift controlled aircraft. A Rotax 582 two-stroke
engine producing 65 HP powers the base. The layout is typical of this class of two seat trike design,
with the pilot passenger “pod” being suspended by a triangular frame, hinged from the mast head about
the pitch and roll axes, to provide for weight shift control.
The cockpit has a tall windscreen for improved wind deflection and is cut away at the sides to allow for
easier pilot access. The wide rear 6-inch wheels remain a feature of the XT base but the wheel
pants/spats have been redesigned and include integrated aerodynamic fins to improve base yaw
stability.
