One of the most eye-catching microlights at Aero 2015 was the Sea-Avio Risen. This may be the fastest aircraft in the world using a 100-horsepower Rotax 912 ULS. At the show, we were able to interview the developer to get his view of his machine. What you see in the video is the first production model while the prototype has acquired more than 300 hours of flight time. It’s expensive, yes, but man!, does this bird fly fast. Get more detail in this video.

Dan,
I just came across your website; absolutely love it and am considering an SLSA. Your site is a great help to that end. What is Risen’s progress toward SLSA status with the FAA? It is not on FAA’s May 18 list?

Hi John: Thanks for your kind words. You are using the website exactly as we hoped. Good luck as you go forward. Risen is not SLSA approved and I do not know of any progress on this. I urge you to use the links in the article to contact them directly.
Can it accommodate or be modified for 4 persons in lieu of luggage capacity. I want to purchase one siren provided finance can be arranged for me. I’m not a professional pilot but an amateur. Can it get license for commercial use in India.
Hi Sushanta: I do not know the answer to your question and recommend you contact the company directly. Certainly, what I saw could not easily be modified to carry four persons.
