The Fisher Flyer was a single seat tricycle landing gear biplane ultralight aircraft, which was first flown by Michael Fisher in July 1980. It was the first aircraft designed by Fisher and became the first of more than 3500 Fisher aircraft flying by 2007.[1][2]
Development
The Flyer was specifically designed to meet the requirements of the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles category, which was under regulatory consideration at the time the aircraft was built. These requirements included a maximum empty weight of Script error: No such module "convert"..
The aircraft was a conventional single-seat ultralight, featuring wings sourced from the Easy Riser hang glider. However, the fuselage and tail were of original design. The airframe structure was of aluminum tube, covered with aircraft fabric. The landing gear was of a fixed tricycle configuration.[1]
The Flyer was fitted with a Script error: No such module "convert". Zenoah engine. The aircraft had an empty weight of Script error: No such module "convert". and a gross weight of Script error: No such module "convert"., giving a useful load of just Script error: No such module "convert".[1]
Operational history
Only one Flyer was built and, because FAR Part 103 was not in effect yet, the aircraft was registered as an Experimental – Amateur-built. As of October 2009 the aircraft is no longer registered with the FAA.[3]
