Adventure Wheely II

The Adventure Wheely II is a French powered parachute that was designed and produced by Adventure SA of Paris. Now out of production, when it was available the aircraft was supplied as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft.

Design and development
The Wheely II was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight category, including the category's maximum gross weight of 450 kg. The aircraft has a maximum gross weight of 270 kg. It features a 40 m2 parachute-style wing, two-seats-in-tandem, tricycle landing gear and dual 14.5 hp Solo 210 engines mounted together in pusher configuration driving a single propeller, although other engines can be used.

The aircraft carriage is built from a combination of bolted aluminium and plastics. The propeller is mounted within a two-tube safety ring, with a mesh net set forward to keep objects out of the propeller. In flight steering is accomplished via handles that actuate the canopy brakes, creating roll and yaw. The main landing gear incorporates spring rod suspension.

The aircraft has an empty weight of 70 kg and a gross weight of 270 kg, giving a useful load of 200 kg. With a fuel capacity of 23 L the full-fuel payload for crew and baggage is 143 kg.
