The new Solairus Soaring Trike is a very streamlined and very portable composite soaring trike from North Wing.  You can fly this trike with our popular Stratus XP light trike wing, your hang glider (if sail area, airframe strength, and performance are adequate), or a paraglider wing designed for power.  The streamlined shape of the Solairus reduces drag and fuel consumption, with the engine almost completely enclosed within the trike.  Very portable - breaks down to 58" long - 24" wide - 33.5" high.

You can choose from three different engines to power this trike - the Simonini Mini2 or Vittorazi 185 2-stroke engines, or the Bailey V4-200 4-stroke engine.  The Solairus rear wheels also include steamlined Wheel Fairings.  Contact Us or contact a dealer from our worldwide North Wing Dealers network to enjoy a $1500 savings as one of the first ten Solairus trike orders!

You can select either the Simonini (electric start) or Vittorazi (pull start) engine, included in the Solairus retail price.
For an additional $1200, you can order the Bailey V4-200 (electric start) 4-stroke engine.
