What if an ultralight aircraft could outrun many legacy planes while burning less fuel than your average car? The Super Veloce Risen is turning heads across the aviation world by doing exactly that. Blending blistering speed, remarkable efficiency, and cutting-edge safety features, this sleek machine is redefining what pilots expect from ultralight aircraft.
Designed by Argentinian-born engineer Alberto Porto, the Risen was never meant to be just another recreational aircraft. Porto envisioned a personal airplane capable of flying farther, faster, and more efficiently than anything else in its category—while still meeting strict European ultralight regulations. The result is an aircraft whose sleek, aggressive design reflects an obsession with aerodynamic perfection and performance.
What truly makes the Risen astonishing are its numbers. This ultralight can exceed 200 miles per hour while burning only about 6.8 gallons of fuel per hour, with cruise speeds reaching 315–350 km/h depending on the engine configuration. Even more impressive, it maintains a gentle stall speed of around 43 knots, combining slow-speed control with incredible high-speed capability.
Powering this aircraft are Rotax engine options including the 912, 912 iS, 914, and the powerful 915 configuration. At just 70% power, the Risen can already approach 200 knots while maintaining outstanding fuel efficiency. This balance of performance and economy makes it one of the most capable ultralights ever built.
Its design isn’t just about speed—it’s about intelligent engineering. Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) during development, every curve of the aircraft was digitally optimized to minimize drag and maximize performance. Laminar flow wings, retractable landing gear, and a carefully designed fuselage allow the Risen to glide efficiently while remaining stable even at high speeds.
Safety is also built into every part of the aircraft. The Risen includes a rear-mounted ballistic parachute, dual firewalls for engine protection, bird-strike-resistant canopy design, and stable flight characteristics that make emergency scenarios far more manageable. Even with its incredible speed, the aircraft remains predictable and forgiving in flight.
Step inside the cockpit and the experience feels futuristic. With a 124-cm wide cabin, customizable interiors, large baggage storage, and glass cockpit options like Dynon or Garmin avionics, the aircraft blends luxury with high-performance flying. Every control and display is designed for intuitive operation, allowing pilots to focus on the thrill of flight.
The engineering even extends to custom components. When existing propellers couldn’t match the aircraft’s performance goals, the team developed their own full-carbon variable-pitch propeller, optimized specifically for high-speed efficiency and durability.
And perhaps the most impressive demonstration of its capability? The Risen completed a non-stop transatlantic flight from Stornoway to Newfoundland, proving its extraordinary range, reliability, and fuel efficiency in the real world.
Built for passionate private pilots and high-performance enthusiasts, the Super Veloce Risen represents more than just another aircraft—it’s a statement about what modern engineering can achieve. Combining Italian design flair with groundbreaking aerodynamics and performance, it pushes the boundaries of ultralight aviation.
