The Bilsam Sky Walker I is a Polish powered parachute designed and produced by Bilsam Aviation of Poznań. The aircraft is supplied as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft.[1]
The aircraft carriage is built from a combination of composite material and steel tubing. In flight steering is accomplished via handles that actuate the canopy brakes, creating roll and yaw. On the ground the aircraft has foot pedal-controlled nosewheel steering. The main landing gear incorporates spring rod suspension.[1]
The aircraft has an empty weight of 29 kg (64 lb) without the engine fitted and a gross weight of 150 kg (331 lb), and a full fuel capacity of 10 litres (2.2 imp gal; 2.6 US gal).[1]
The Sky Walker I can be fitted with a choice of three wings, Matrix, Pelikan or Condor all manufactured by Bilsam.[3]
The Sky Walker II is a two-seat variant with an enclosed cockpit.[3]
