When 300km/hour is not enough, there are some ideas to create jet-powered aircraft using Shark design, so You could fly 400-500 km/hour according to used engine.

Price-induction jet looks nice for that purposes :
At Take Off Power, you can get up to 255daN, consuming 80kg/h of fuel for the DGEN 380 and 330daN with 100kg/h fuel consumption for the DGEN 390.

of course - this kind of aircraft cannot be called Ultralight, although its empty weight could be very similar

information about Shark first prototype max speeds

20th December 2009, Shark prototype OK - OUR 01 reached with propeller Woodcomp 3000 2W :

first flight: 275/312 GPS = average 293,5
second flight: 280/312 = 296
thirdt flight: 275/314 = 294,5
average : 293,5/296/294,5 = 294,7 km/hour

16th September COMP-LET workshop was visited by one interested guy, preparing development of high-performance machine with 300HP Rolls-Royce engine RR300 , finding SHARK fuselage to be ideal background for possible colaboration with us. We tried to evaluate what does it mean to install Rolls directly in Shark - and recognize we can be above 500 km/hour...

For Rolls-Royce M250 turboprop our aerodynamics calculated for MTOW 600 kg and in MSA condition, including flight level FL120 (12,000 ft) - limit without oxygen on the board:

Max. continuous power :

H= 0 TAS = 470 km/h

FL120 TAS = 515 km/h

Cruise speed :

H= 0 TAS = 440 km/h

FL120 TAS = 490 km/h

Do You remember the time, when "big" pilots called our light sport airplanes by pejorative "rag-planes" ?

Of course, with turboprop, Shark will be moved to experimental category of FAR23, because UL and light sport categories are limited, and in the same time little reinforced, because with this kind of power all users will want to fly aerobatics maneuvres very probably.
