The Pegasus Quantum embodies all the core
values for which Pegasus Aviation have become
internationally renowned.
Design innovation, engineering excellence, superb build
quality, a definite sense of style, unequalled comfort and
most important of all - peerless flying characteristics. It
is an aircraft that proves the old aviation saying ‘If it
looks right, it is right’.
Small wonder then that the Quantum 912, the top model in the
Quantum range was chosen by Brian Milton for the first
successful global circumnavigation by microlight in 1998.
It was also chosen by competition pilot Simon Baker for his
successful bid for the World Microlight Championship.
Not only has the Quantum met or exceeded all the
requirements of CAA BCAR Section S, the toughest microlight
certification programme in the world, but also the Q2 wing
sailed through the German DULV pitch test.
The secondary safety features include 3-point belts in the
front, 4-point in the rear, twin rear brakes with a parking
brake system which makes start-up safer.
The 600+ Quantums have been flight tested in some of the
most extreme conditions around the world and have returned
an outstanding safety record – a comforting thought when you
take to the air.

simple air-cooled two-cylinder 52 hp two-stroke engine that
offers good performance, light weight and low cost.
The Rotax 582 (illustrated) is a liquid cooled two-cylinder
64 hp two-stroke engine that provides exceptionally strong
performance while remaining moderate in cost and light in
weight.
The Rotax 912 is a four-cylinder 80 hp four-stroke engine
that is liquid and air cooled, and which offers the ultimate
flexwing performance, reliability and economy. What makes
the Quantum so special is the sheer cohesion of the design.
Effortless to rig, comfortable to sit in, stylish to look at
and a joy to fly. |
