Quality is our principle focus at Blackshape which encompasses every action we take, ensuring that every aircraft that leaves our premises exceeds your expectations. By following this philosophy Blackshape uses only the highest quality materials and processes in the construction of its aircraft. From carbon fibre, steel and aluminium materials, to the lamination, moulding, autoclave curing and assembly – Blackshape takes care of it all.
The low wing configuration and low fuselage cross-section combined with the carbon fibre structure, ensure the Blackshape Prime’s extraordinary agility. This provides a unique experience for the pilot. Our aim is to guarantee that every flight you take in a Blackshape aircraft is pure exhilaration, beyond your expectations.

The Blackshape Prime is available with two different engines: the Rotax 912 and the Rotax 914. The Rotax 912 represents 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 performance, with more power and more uniform performance at different altitudes.
Blackshape employs the Skyview by Dynon to provide pilots with innovative avionics packages that are in line with those found in airliners and business jets. Dynon Skyview provides PFD and MFD capabilities in a compact 10” display. It integrates with a transponder module and it is available with additional autopilot panels and with backseat display.
In creating such a performance aircraft, safety must be the 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 Spec wiring, advanced breaker system and temperature and fuel capacity sensors. In addition, the safety features include four points certified safety belts, ballistic parachute and anti-blast fuel tanks.
