It is nice , our baby can cross 300km/hour border as the first ultralight, thanks Eric - and great congratulation  !!!

- we hope this record can be FAI confirmed soon, to open Champagne bottles here - by whole Shark's development  team : its aerodynamic creators, designers, stressmens and producer too.

... and You can see - this record was performed with preliminary engine cowlings, and still without any undercarriage cowlings - so, there are some kilometers per hour "in the reserve"

It is nice to be by 300km/hour border crossing :
