The ABS Aerolight Legacy is a French powered parachute that was designed and produced by ABS Aerolight of Sérignan-du-Comtat. Now out of production, when it was available the aircraft was supplied as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft and as a kit for amateur construction. [1]
The company appears to have gone out of business in late 2007 and production ended. [2] [3]
The Legacy was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight category, including the category's maximum gross weight of 450 kg (992 lb). The aircraft has a maximum gross weight of 400 kg (882 lb). It features a 46.50 m2 (500.5 sq ft) parachute-style wing, two-seats-in- side-by-side configuration in a semi-enclosed cockpit, tricycle landing gear and a single 105 hp (78 kW) Hirth F-30 four-cylinder, horizontally opposed, two-stroke, aircraft engine in pusher configuration. [1]
The aircraft carriage is built from composites. In flight steering is accomplished via a steering wheel that actuates the canopy brakes, creating roll and yaw. The main landing gear incorporates suspension and a cockpit heater was a factory option. [1]
The aircraft has an empty weight of 185 kg (408 lb) and a gross weight of 400 kg (882 lb), giving a useful load of 215 kg (474 lb). With full fuel of 38 litres (8.4 imp gal; 10 US gal) the payload is 188 kg (414 lb). [1]
