Equipment

Widely considered to be purely recreational, ultralights or microlights have been gaining popularity in working roles. For example, the Chinese government recently purchased a fleet of 150 Air Creation trikes to monitor their pipelines.

With an endurance of nearly 4 hours, a range of over 200 km, and able to lift payloads of 250 kg from 180 meter fields, their capabilities are well suited to places with limited infrastructure such as the Cambodian countryside.

Each machine seats 2 people including the pilot and is capable of cruise flight at 70 to 80 km/hr at altitudes in excess of 3000 meters. There are currently 6 machines in the country. Three are flying while others are undergoing restoration. Each is meticulously maintained with manufacturers original parts and recommended fuels and fluids.
