Magnetic Levitation
C-FGHQ, a Tapanee Levitation 4, climbing out from runway 33 at Toronto Buttonville Municipal Airport in Markham, Ontario.
The amateur-built four-seat STOL aircraft was designed by Michel Lequin of Tapanee Aviation Inc. of Mont-Saint-Michel, Quebec.
Its 180-horsepower Lycoming enables the aircraft to travel 575 statute miles / 500 nautical miles while cruising at 115 mph / 100 knots.
Its stall speed is 38 mph / 33 knots.
At its maximum take-off weight (2,500 pounds), the aircraft requires only 400 feet to get airborne without wind. Its landing distance is 300 feet.
This example is one of only four in existence.
