The Microleve Corsario (English: Corsair) is a Brazilian amphibious ultralight flying boat that was designed and produced by Microleve of Rio de Janeiro. The aircraft was supplied as a kit for amateur construction.[1][2][3] The company appears to be out of business and the aircraft no longer available. Design and developmentThe Corsario complies with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules. It features a strut-braced parasol wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit, retractable conventional landing gear and a single engine in pusher configuration. The landing gear is manually retracted.[1][2] The aircraft fuselage and hull are made from composites. The Mark 5 version of the Corsario offered two alternative wings. An all-composite wing of 10.3 m (33.8 ft) span could be ordered with two 25 litres (5.5 imp gal; 6.6 US gal) fuel tanks fitted behind the seats in the fuselage or an aluminum tubing and aircraft fabric wing of similar span was available with two 35 litres (7.7 imp gal; 9.2 US gal) wing mounted fuel tanks.
