The Skyper GT9 was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules and US light-sport aircraft rules and complies with the Czech UL2-1 and ELSA as well as German LTF-UL rules. It was designed for the flight training and touring roles. It features a strut-braced high-wing, an enclosed cabin with two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration accessed by doors, fixed tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.[1]
The aircraft is made from aluminum sheet and has a round fuselage profile. Its 9.0 m (29.5 ft) span wing has an area of 10 m2 (110 sq ft) and mounts flaps. Standard engines available are the 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS and 912iS four-stroke powerplants.[1]
The design is offered in a European UL version with a 472.5 kg (1,042 lb) gross weight and a US LSA version with a gross weight of 600 kg (1,300 lb).[1]
As of March 2017, the design does not appear on the Federal Aviation Administration's list of approved special light-sport aircraft.[2]
Reviewer Marino Boric described the design in a 2015 review as "ideal for cross country travel".[1]
