MTOtrigo
The three-seat member of the MTO platform — two passengers, a stretcher or stores for special operations.
The flexible MTO platform
The MTO platform has multiple uses — carrying a single passenger for training or simply for fun, two passengers, stretchers, agricultural equipment… the list seems almost endless. The MTOtrigo is designed for two passengers, giving you independence for unique operations. It is easy to fly and easy to service, with very little infrastructure required.
It is ideal for dropping parachutists or stores, small team insertions, or simply taking two passengers on spectacular scenic tours. The upgraded model now features the Rotax 915 iS or 916 iS, providing superior performance and greater flexibility in your mission set-up.
Stretchers, drops and floats
The MTOtrigo can be fitted with a stretcher and used for medical evacuation or patient transport. An under-seat release mechanism for dropping stores at low altitude and low speed is perfect for resupplying hard-to-reach areas — especially at high altitude.
The MTOtrigo can operate from normal airfields, or be fitted with standard or amphibious floats to become the perfect summer resort aircraft — or a water-based delivery aircraft for up-river support.
Main application areas:
- unique tourist experiences in special areas such as canyons, lakes or the sea,
- medical evacuation or patient transport,
- parachuting,
- carrying and dropping stores,
- fast low-level resupply.
