Blackshape Prime is the revolutionary two-seater ultralight aircraft engineered for Piloting Pleasure and for high-performance enthusiasts: it combines quality, safety and the best flight performance with an elegant, refined and sporty design, reflecting the made in Italy heritage.
Awarded as Best Airplane in the world in 2013 (Ultralight category) by the prestigious Flieger Magazine Award, Prime is the result of an accurate handcrafted work using innovative materials: high-quality pre-preg carbon, which manufacturing processes are carried out by the Blackshape team in all their phases.
The first
Supercraft
The combination of the aircraft clean lines and its structure in carbon fibre guarantees Prime an impressive flight performance and agility.
The low wing configuration and the low fuselage cross-section combined to the carbon fiber structure ensure to the Blackshape Prime high performance combined to extraordinary agility ensuring a unique experience to the pilot. Our aim is to guarantee that every flight you take in a Blackshape aircraft is pure emotion, beyond your expectations.
In terms of pure performance, Rate of Climb surely is a parameter you will never forget on a Blackshape. 1700 ft/m of pure adrenaline.
DESIGN CRAFTMANSHIP
01. DESIGN CRAFTMANSHIP
Quality is a dominant principal of Blackshape encompassing every single action we take, ensuring that every aircraft that leaves our premises exceeds your expectations. Blackshape uses highest quality prepregs, steel and aluminum in its products, following this philosophy driven by an unending quest for quality. Blackshape takes care of all the carbon fiber processes from lamination and moulding to autoclave curing processes and assembly.
02. ENGINE
The Blackshape Prime is available with three different engines: the Rotax 912, the Rotax 914 and the brand new Rotax 915 iS. The Rotax 912 represent the classic reliability combined with low energy consumption hence ideal for flying long distances. The Rotax 914 is for those pilots who are considering a boost in the performance, with more power and more uniform performance at different altitudes. Rotax 915 iS, with a maximum power of 141 HP, is the engine with best power-to-weight ratio that perfectly matches the flight capabilities of the Blackshape Prime.
03. AVIONICS
Blackshape employees the Skyview by Dynon to provide pilots innovative avionics packages that are in line with those found in airliners and business jets. Dyson Skyview represents the state-of-the-art for light sport planes providing PFD and MFD capabilities in a compact 10” display. It integrates with transponder module and it is available with additional autopilot panels and with backseat display.

Safety
In creating such a performing aircraft safety must be a top priority. For Blackshape safety is instilled in every aspect of the design and manufacture. Safety is so important for Blackshape that all the safety features are standard on our aircraft. Safety is accomplished through incredibly reliable electrical systems, thanks to MIL certified wiring, an advanced breakers system plus temperatures and fuel capacity sensors. In addition the safety features include four points certified safety belts, ballistic parachute and anti-blast fuel tanks.
