The company specialized in the design and manufacture of powered parachutes and ultralight trikes in the form of ready-to-fly aircraft for the US FAR 103 Ultralight Vehicles and the European Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight categories.Bertrand, Noel; Rene Coulon; et al: World Directory of Leisure Aviation 2003-04, page 81.
