MCR Pick-Up

The MCR Pick-Up was from conception a demonstration of technology showing that a schedule of conditions could be met, an idea that many considered impossible. The aim, to produce an aircraft with exceptional space, enough to accommodate a bed, to enable freedom, with performance comparable to the fastest machines and suitability for rough field use whilst respecting the weight restraints imposed by the Ultralight regulations.

The challenge could be met using an aerodynamic solution evolved directly from the MCR ULC and important technological advances in the design of the structure enabling the weight to remain within regulated limits.

The basic fuselage structure is the same as for the MCR 4S, lightened and transformed to two seats.

The result is an ultralight aircraft that combines the performances of the MCR ULC and the capacity of the MCR4S, in effect a caravan.
