The Juvenelle Rosario Skua is a Brazilian mid-wing, T-tailed, single-seat motor glider that was designed and produced by Juvenelle Rosario of Florianópolis. When it was available it was supplied as a complete aircraft. [1]
Named for the seabird of the same name, the aircraft is built predominantly from carbon fibre and intended to qualify as a European microlight. [1]
The aircraft is a conventional self-launching sailplane, with a retractable engine. The 12.6 m (41.3 ft) span wing mounts dive brakes and holds water ballast. The wings can be folded for storage or ground transportation. The aircraft reportedly has a very low empty weight of 70 kg (154 lb). [1]
In 2003 production was reported at one per month. At that time two customer aircraft had been completed and three were on order at a price of US$15,000 each. [1]
