The Microweight was a ultralight glider equipped with a Repulsorlift engine for power. It was mainly used in luxury resorts as a means to sightsee. The 3 meter wide wings would fold up into a small, 2 kilogram, lightweight backpack when not in use, and could be deployed or re-furled rapidly via servomotors. It had a maximum flight time of 1 hour before the power pack had to be replaced, and a flight ceiling of 1,000 meters.
