Fly Synthesis Syncro

The Fly Synthesis Syncro is an Italian ultralight and light-sport aircraft, designed and produced by Fly Synthesis, introduced at the Aero show held in Friedrichshafen in 2009. The aircraft is supplied as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft.[1][2]

Design and development

The aircraft was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules and US light-sport aircraft rules. It features a cantilever high-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed open cockpit, fixed tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.[1][2]

The aircraft is made from composites, predominantly carbon fibre. Its 10.4 m (34.1 ft) span wing has an area of 10.54 m2 (113.5 sq ft) and flaps. The standard engine available is the 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS four-stroke powerplant.[1][2]

Operational history

Reviewer Marino Boric described the design in a 2015 review as "one of the most attractive aircraft unveiled at the 2009 Friedrichshafen show".[2]
