The design is an accepted Federal Aviation Administration special light-sport aircraft, as the Skykits Rampage. The Vimana is a conventionally arranged single engine high wing light aircraft, designed to have STOL performance. It seats two side-by-side. The Vimana is mostly constructed from riveted aluminium sheet. Only the engine cowl and wheel pants are composite. The Vinama's wing is tapered, mostly on the trailing edge, and carries 2° of dihedral. On each side a single, forward leaning strut links the wing to the lower fuselage, assisted by a short intermediate strut at its wing connection. More than half the trailing edge carries inboard double slotted Fowler flaps with a maximum deflection of 40°; the rest of the trailing edge is fitted with conventional ailerons. The leading edge is fitted with electrically operated slats. A unique feature is a manual wheel at the wing root to extend the electric flaps in the event of a power failure. for a video report on the Rampage ByDanJohnson.
