1. GENERAL INFORMATION 

 

1.1 Trike 

 
The ANT trike is a one seat weight shift controlled ultralight. It is fully complies with the concept of 

maximum portability – it can be folded up to fit in the back of many cars. The wing is light and once 

packed can easily be carried on car roof racks. 

There is

 a choice of JPX M25 

(2 stroke, 25 hp) 

or Polini 

Thor 250 

(2 stroke, 36 hp) 

engines to power the trike.

 The base is attached to the wing by way of a hang 

bracket which allows the free movement of the trike in pitch and roll by which control is affected.  
The trike is equipped with adjustable pedals to allow for various size pilots.  

The ANT has manually retractable landing gear. After take-off the rear wheels can be retracted to aid in 

drag reduction. The grate advantage of retractable landing gear is transportation – the trike can be easily 

fitted inside of ordinary car. 
 

NOTE: The sizes of main upper pylons and front brace tubes differ for Fox T, Fox-13TL, Discus T, 

Combat T wings.
