MW5

The MW5 has been developed since 1983 in line with official changes in the microlight definition and fully meets Section S.  The latest MW5D now has a folding wing with the same wing area as the MW5A to restore the same crisp fighter-like handling of this aircraft.
Thirty six aircraft have now flown including eighteen built commercially with Type Approval by 'Aerotech International' at Hinton-in-the-Hedges airfield in the mid 1980's.  The final K model had a wing with tapering outer panels.
An MW5K was converted into an amphibian float-plane by fitting a central 'Full Lotus' mono-float and wing mounted sponsons:-
