Dragonfly

The Dragonfly is a 2 seater, side by side, composite sport aircraft. It is configured with a main wing and an equal length canard. This configuration has resulted in the “Dragonfly” name due to its similarity to the dragonfly insect. It is capable of speeds in excess of 200 mph depending on which of the many power-plant options is chosen. Various undercarriage options are available including two tail-dragger and one tricycle configuration.

The Dragonfly is a very mature and safe home built aircraft with over 500 flying today in all corners of the globe. Over 2000 sets of plans are currently in circulation worldwide with more and more Dragonflies taking to the skies each year. More information from www.dart-industries.com.
