All Aircraft at Ultralight America are
manufactured at the highest quality and have stood the test of time. The
first planes took to the skies in 1982 and have accumulated thousands of
hours of flying time. The Fireball has been g-rated tested to +6-4 with a
built in safety factor of 25%. The aircraft has been designed for form, fit
and function under the strictest engineering guide lines. (Using Autocad
Technology)
The HKS700E series will make a good
combination for the single seat FIREBALL series ultralight. Giving good
reliability and performance statistics. A building plans kit will be
available for the FIREBALL design as soon as Manufacturing releases the
finished Dwg’s. It was designed as a friendly to build package for the
novice aircraft builder.
The FIREBALL is a pre-design for the
upcoming “Repulsion” aircraft which will utilize a new u-shaped 12 foot wide
wing. This air vehicle will contain the first implo-motor of its kind and
will be capable of vertical takeoff and landings. The fuel required for this
air vehicle will be water, and will be capable of speeds far exceeding the
103 envelope.
Sincerely
Kim Zorzi CEO
