Pipistrel Taurus M ↗Research-based aircraft background

Pipistrel Taurus M

Pipistrel's two-seat Taurus combines self-launching with gliding flight. The powerplant retracts into the airframe when no longer needed, alongside a long wing and side-by-side cockpit. Several powerplant developments exist in the family.

The Taurus M is the engine-powered version represented here. Its cockpit includes sailplane flap, airbrake and landing-gear controls.
