Aircraft engine

An aircraft engine, often referred to as an aero engine, is the power component of an aircraft propulsion system.

See Skyrider Stingray and Aircraft engine

Aircraft fairing

An aircraft fairing is a structure whose primary function is to produce a smooth outline and reduce drag.

See Skyrider Stingray and Aircraft fairing

Bracing (aeronautics)

In aeronautics, bracing comprises additional structural members which stiffen the functional airframe to give it rigidity and strength under load.

Dual ignition

Dual Ignition is a system for spark-ignition engines, whereby critical ignition components, such as spark plugs and magnetos, are duplicated.

Monoplane

A monoplane is a fixed-wing aircraft configuration with a single mainplane, in contrast to a biplane or other types of multiplanes, which have multiple planes.

Pusher configuration

In aeronautical and naval engineering, pusher configuration is the term used to describe a drivetrain of air- or watercraft with propulsion device(s) after the engine(s).

Tricycle landing gear

Tricycle gear is a type of aircraft undercarriage, or landing gear, arranged in a tricycle fashion.

See Skyrider Stingray and Tricycle landing gear

Two-stroke engine

A two-stroke (or two-stroke cycle) engine is a type of internal combustion engine that completes a power cycle with two strokes of the piston (one up and one down movement) in one revolution of the crankshaft.

See Skyrider Stingray and Two-stroke engine

Ultralight aviation

Ultralight aviation (called microlight aviation in some countries) is the flying of lightweight, 1- or 2-seat fixed-wing aircraft.

See Skyrider Stingray and Ultralight aviation

Ultralight trike

An ultralight trike or paratrike is a type of powered hang glider where flight control is by weight-shift. Skyrider Stingray and ultralight trike are ultralight trikes.
