Summit 103 Mini Breeze

The Summit 103 Mini Breeze is an American powered parachute, designed and produced by Summit Aerosports of Yale, Michigan.

Design and development
The aircraft was designed to comply with the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles rules, including the category's maximum empty weight of 254 lb. The Mini Breeze has a standard empty weight of 240 lb when equipped with a Rotax 447 engine and 253 lb when equipped with a Rotax 503. It features a parachute-style high-wing, single-place accommodation, tricycle landing gear and a single 40 hp Rotax 447 engine in pusher configuration. The 50 hp Rotax 503 engine is a factory option.

The Mini Breeze's airframe is built from TIG-welded, powder coated 4130 steel tubing. The standard rectangular Mustang S-380 canopy has an area of 380 sqft and is attached at four points to increase stability. The Mustang S-380 allows a gross weight of 550 lb. Optional canopies include the elliptical Mustang E-280 and the elliptical Thunderbolt E-310 which both allow a gross weight of 600 lb. In-flight steering is accomplished via foot pedals that actuate the canopy brakes, creating roll and yaw. On the ground the aircraft has nosewheel steering controlled by a butterfly steering wheel and the main landing gear incorporates bungee suspension. The aircraft is factory supplied complete.
