Evolution Revo

The Evolution Revo is an American ultralight trike, designed by Evolution Trikes of Zephyrhills, Florida. The aircraft is supplied as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft.

The Revo was derived from the Hungarian Apollo Monsoon and is built under sub-contract in the United States by Powrachute of Middleville, Michigan. It was designed specifically to complete with the British Pegasus Quik.

Design and development
The Revo was designed to comply with the American light-sport aircraft category and has been accepted as an S-LSA.

The aircraft features a strut-braced hang glider-style high-wing, weight-shift controls, a two-seats-in-tandem open cockpit with a cockpit fairing, tricycle landing gear with wheel pants and a single engine in pusher configuration.

The Revo is made from welded steel tubing, with its double surface wing covered in Dacron sailcloth. Its 30 ft span North Wing Reflex wing has no kingpost and uses an "A" frame weight-shift control bar. The powerplant is a four-cylinder, air and liquid-cooled, four-stroke, dual-ignition 100 hp Rotax 912ULS engine or 80 hp Rotax 912UL. The aircraft has an empty weight of 530 lb and a gross weight of 1037 lb, giving a useful load of 506 lb. With full fuel of 15 u.s.gal the payload is 416 lb.

A number of different wings can be fitted to the basic carriage, including the Reflex 11 and 13.
