Design and development edit

The aircraft was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules. It features a cantilever high-wing, a two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration enclosed cockpit, fixed tricycle landing gear and a single engine in pusher configuration.[1][2]

The aircraft is made from composites. Its 12.4 m (40.7 ft) span wing has an area of 12.0 m2 (129 sq ft) and flaps that can be deployed for landing and reflexed for cruise flight. The long wingspan gives the Martin3 a glide ratio of 23:1 and allows power-off soaring flights. The standard engine is the 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS four-stroke powerplant.[1][2]

In 2015 the aircraft was marketed by Galicia Avionica SL.[3]
