SwiftDream
Introduction to the SwiftDream Project
Project Overview
We are developing a 3-axis touring ultralight aircraft, the SwiftDream, similar to a plane, capable of carrying 2 people and 15 kg of luggage over 1800 km at an average speed of 300 km/h, with a fuel consumption around 6 liters per 100 km of SP98 gasoline. Achieving such performance requires an uncompromising design using digital tools and extensive use of composite materials such as carbon fibers. These materials combine strength and lightness with great design flexibility. The aircraft will be offered in two versions initially and will be available for sale in Europe.
Advantages
Fast & Efficient
300 km/h over 1800 km
Lightweight
Empty weight of 285 kg
Easy maintenance
Large inspection hatches for easy access to components needing inspection.
Digital Aerodynamics
Aerodynamic optimization of the aircraft using digital tools
Study of Airflows
Study of airflow patterns to optimize boundary layer separation, thereby reducing drag and improving lift.
Structural Optimization
Optimizing the balance between weight, strength of the structure, and all mechanisms.
Flight Tests
Flight Tests: Coming Soon

FAQ
Is the aircraft entirely made of carbon fiber?
Yes, for the majority of components. Only a few parts are made from fiberglass or aramid fibers when necessary for radio transparency and occupant protection.
Isn't an all-carbon ultralight aircraft too rigid?
An aircraft made of carbon is naturally a bit more rigid. This rigidity doesn’t compromise comfort, and it’s necessary for the performance of the SwiftDream, especially with a stall speed of 270 km/h.
Where will it be built?
The SwiftDream will be built in France at the Chambley site, with the majority of parts manufactured in our workshops.
