About the Porto Aviation Risen SV 916
Overview
The Porto Aviation Risen SV 916 SuperVeloce is an Italian carbon-fiber two-seater built by the Porto Aviation Group (formerly Swiss Excellence Airplanes) around a single turbocharged 160 hp Rotax 916iS. A retractable-gear, V-tail microlight, it pairs a clipped high-aspect wing and a 20:1 glide with a manufacturer-cited cruise of 215 knots true at altitude, performance that overlaps certified four-seat retractables on a fraction of the fuel.
The Risen is a machine for the speed-and-efficiency buyer who accepts an experimental airframe to get numbers no factory Light-Sport can touch. In the United States the retractable gear and constant-speed propeller put it outside the Light-Sport category, so it is flown on an Experimental certificate with the operating limitations that carries. It rewards a current, cross-country pilot who values raw efficiency and is comfortable with a short-winged, responsive V-tail and a small support network; a buyer who wants a factory-backed trainer or turnkey certified support should look to a conventional LSA instead.
Key Features for GA Buyers
- Speed on modest power. The turbocharged Rotax 916iS drives a manufacturer-cited 215 knots true at altitude, a cruise bracket shared with high-performance certified singles, on roughly 6.9 gph at 75 percent power.
- Long legs. Stored range is 907 nm, and eco-cruise settings stretch endurance well beyond that, making the Risen a genuine two-person cross-country tool.
- Modern cabin and panel. A 48-inch-wide cabin, motorised canopy, and full glass panel give it a comfortable, modern cockpit for a two-seat microlight.
- Standard ballistic parachute. A whole-airframe recovery parachute and crash-resistant fuel cells are standard equipment.
Trade-offs
- Experimental in the US. The retractable gear and constant-speed propeller exclude it from Light-Sport, so it registers Experimental. Operating limitations, insurance, and resale differ from a certified aircraft, and vary by how the individual airframe was built and registered.
- Complex, responsive airframe. Retractable gear, a constant-speed prop, and a short, highly-loaded wing with a V-tail make for quick handling that rewards a current pilot and calls for transition training coming from a stable high-wing trainer.
- No published clean stall. The manufacturer publishes only a flaps-down stall of 43 KIAS (80 km/h); it does not publish a clean, flaps-up stall for the SV. Because sport-pilot MOSAIC eligibility turns on the clean stall, eligibility cannot be confirmed for this variant and should not be assumed.
- Small support network. Porto Aviation is a low-volume Italian maker, so parts and type-specific service depth lag the larger composite manufacturers.
