looks like the left / right movement of the bar might be limited by the canopy.

Tower - ABC, make that a tight circuit.

Hmm, looks like really comfy for the pax: knees conveniently up to his chin and feet cosily tucked in under the pilots arm/elbow for additional warmth ...

Jealous?! Nay ... :roll:

That's a German development by a company named XXStyle. They used to have a website www.xxstyle.com, but it is closed now. If I recall correctly, they claimed a cruise of 140km/hr

If you to fly like that - go fixed wing
I agree with Demon. This contraption kinda defeats the object of a trike.

Worst of both worlds... looks like the pax has a wonderful view of the back of the PICs head.

But it does look alot better than some of the attempts to make fairings that have posted here before... Often these one off "concepts' are an indication of the way things are going... With increasing speed, fairings are becoming necessary and there will be a market demanding sexy looking fairings... :roll:

Too much plastic for my liking really - I thought it could be marketed under the name "Silver Suppository"?
