10 PERFORMANCE 

10.1 PERFORMANCE DATA 

The following figures were achieved in flight tests. They are based on a good 
general shape of the trike, the wing and the engine and that the pilot has an 
average skills. 
They are valid under standard conditions (mean sea level, standard pressure, 
15°C, no wind, maximum take off weight 365 kg, even  runway with short grass in a 
good shape). Higher altitude, higher temperatures and lower air pressure reduce 
those performance figures. 
 
AIR SPEED 
Minimum speed 

30 km/h 

Manoeuvre speed 

65 km/h 

Permitted maximum speed 

73 km/h 

 
TAKE-OFF DISTANCE 
Take off distance 

20-150 m (depends on load 

and wind speed) 

Take off distance about a 15m obstacle 

200m 

 
LANDING DISTANCE 
Landing distance 

10 - 30 m with brakes 

Landing distance about a 15m obstacle 

150 m 

 
Climb rate 
single 

4,0 m/sec 

tandem 

2,5 m/sec 

 
ADDITIONAL DATA:  
RANGE 
The range is depending on the fuel consumption, which is much higher at higher 
air speeds. 
The best consumption can be achieved flying slightly faster than the best gliding 
speed. This gives a range of ca. 200 km at an air speed of 65 km/h. 
 
 
CROSS WIND 
The maximum allowed cross wind component during take off and landing is 8 km/h. 
 
NOISE  
The XCitor fulfills the German noise requirements for ultralight pararikes which 
means that it is quieter than 60 dB(A) flying in 150 m altitude. 
 
TIRE PRESSURE 
Rear wheels 

2,0Bar 

Front wheel 

1,5 Bar 

 
MAXIMUM ALTITUDE 
The maximum altitude depends on the load and temperature. It is defined by a 
climb rate smaller than 0.5 m/sec. This height is roughly 3000 m.
