            The VL- 3 is an ultralight, single-engine, low-wing 
            aeroplane of classical design with a bow-type retractable or fixed 
            landing-gear and two side-by-side seats. The plane has been 
            certified according to regulation UL-2 of the Amateur Aeronautical 
            Association of the Czech Republic for maximum take-off weight (MTOW) 
            of 450 kg. Harmonious aerodynamic shape and excellent flying 
            performance make the aeroplane suitable for touring or recreational 
            flying. 
            
              
            
            The design uses carbon and hybrid materials, 
            mainly in the form of sandwiches. 
            The airplane is being certified in UL category for MTOW 450 kg 
            and for MTOW 560 kg according JAR - VLA
