Aircraft Model Overview (Reference only)

The Pipistrel Sinus Flex MAX is a two-seat self-launching motorglider and light sport aircraft designed and manufactured by Pipistrel d.o.o. of Ajdovščina, Slovenia — one of Europe's most innovative and award-winning light aircraft manufacturers, and the first company to bring a type-certificated electric aircraft to market. The Sinus family traces its origins to the mid-1990s and has evolved into one of the most versatile certified light aircraft available anywhere in the world, combining genuine soaring capability, efficient cross-country powered performance, whole-aircraft parachute safety, and a glass cockpit suite in a single certified platform. The 2025 Sinus Flex MAX represents the current production specification with all contemporary factory refinements, full ASTM standards conformance, and Pipistrel's enhanced factory warranty. Power is provided by a Rotax 912 UL four-cylinder horizontally-opposed engine producing 80 horsepower at 5,800 RPM, driving a variable-pitch propeller that can be fully feathered for silent engine-off soaring operations. The ability to feather the propeller is critical to the Sinus's soaring performance — a windmilling propeller would reduce the glide ratio from 27:1 to a significantly lower value — and the variable-pitch system enables optimization for both climb and cruise during powered operations. Fuel burn in cruise is approximately 4 USG per hour, falling to 3 USG per hour at economy cruise settings. The Rotax 912 UL benefits from the most comprehensive LSA engine support network in North America and Pipistrel's own technical support infrastructure through its U.S. dealer network. The Sinus Flex MAX composite airframe is engineered to the standards of the glider manufacturing tradition — lighter, more aerodynamically refined, and built to tighter surface tolerances than typical powered LSA designs. The fuselage and wing skins are glass and carbon fiber composite over foam core, achieving the structural integrity and surface quality that the 27:1 glide ratio demands. The retractable main gear is electrically actuated — a feature that further improves glide performance in soaring configuration by eliminating fixed-gear parasite drag. The airframe's low mass and high wing loading in short-wing configuration deliver the cross-country cruise performance that complements its soaring credentials. The two-seat side-by-side cabin is equipped standard with the Garmin G3X Touch integrated avionics suite, providing a full glass cockpit environment with dual touchscreen displays, synthetic vision, integrated navigation, ADS-B In and Out, and — on IFR-capable equipped examples — the autopilot and instrument approach capability that significantly extends the aircraft's operational utility. The Ballistic Recovery System (BRS) whole-aircraft parachute is standard equipment on the Sinus Flex MAX — a meaningful safety feature that is standard on no other LSA motorglider in the certified market and one that reflects Pipistrel's commitment to pilot safety across its product line. The Sinus Flex MAX occupies an essentially uncontested market position: no other FAA-certificated production aircraft combines self-launching motorglider soaring capability, 110-knot powered cruise, interchangeable wing configurations, whole-aircraft parachute, and a full Garmin G3X glass cockpit in a single platform available new from a factory with active warranty support. The type appeals to a specific and knowledgeable buyer — experienced soaring pilots seeking powered cross-country capability, cross-country pilots seeking the soaring experience without a second aircraft, and flight training operators seeking a versatile, low-operating-cost platform that can serve multiple curriculum roles. A glider rating or self-launch endorsement is required for engine-off soaring operations and should be factored into transition training planning for powered-only pilots.
