Pegasus Quik
The Pegasus Quik is a British-designed ultralight trike, originally designed and produced by Pegasus Aviation, later by P&M Aviation, both of the United Kingdom. The design is now owned by  Albatross Flying Systems of Bangalore, India. The aircraft is supplied as a kit for amateur construction.

Design and development
The Quik's design goal was to produce a faster trike and to this end a smaller wing in both span and area than normal is employed. The initial wing used has on a span of  and an area of . The smaller wing also gives improved turbulence resistance, but at the cost of a higher stall speed.

The aircraft was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight category, including the category's maximum gross weight of  and is certified to the British BCAR Section "S" standard. The initial version has a maximum gross weight of , while later versions have gross weights of . The Quik features a cable-braced or strut-braced hang glider-style high-wing, weight-shift controls, a two-seats-in-tandem open cockpit, tricycle landing gear and a single engine in pusher configuration.

The aircraft is made from bolted-together aluminium tubing, with its double-surface wing covered in Dacron sailcloth. On the initial model its  span wing is supported by a single tube-type kingpost and uses an "A" frame control bar. Later versions use a strut-braced "topless" style wing.
