The Seamax M-22
Design and development
The Seamax M-22 was designed in 1999. A prototype was flown in 2000 and the first production aircraft left the factory in 2001. The Seamax M-22 is constructed using composite materials and metal components. It has a two-seat,
Rotax 912ULS pusher configuration engine mounted above the wing to avoid water ingestion.[4]
Versions can be constructed to meet the requirements of both the European microlight and US LSA categories.[5] A version with folding wings is available as the M-22 FW.[6]
A total of 160 had been built by 2018.[1]
