The Pro.Mecc Freccia Anemo (English: Fast Arrow) is an Italian ultralight aircraft, designed and produced by Pro.Mecc of Corigliano d'Otranto. The aircraft was introduced at the AERO Friedrichshafen show in 2011. The Freccia is supplied as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft.[1][2]

Design and development

The Freccia was derived from the earlier Pro.Mecc Sparviero, with additional streamlining and a new elliptical wing planform. It was designed to conform to the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules. It features a cantilever low-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit under a bubble canopy, fixed or, optionally, retractable tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.[1][2]

The aircraft is made from carbon fibre. Its 8.78 m (28.8 ft) span wing has an area of 10.18 m2 (109.6 sq ft) and double slotted flaps to allow a low stall speed. Engines available are the 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS, the turbocharged 115 hp (86 kW) Rotax 914 and the 130 hp (97 kW) ULPower UL350iS four-stroke powerplant.[1][2]
