The PS-38 Tourer was designed for private use for cross-country flying as well as the law enforcement role.[1]
The aircraft was designed to comply with the US light-sport aircraft rules. It features a cantilever high-wing, an enclosed cabin with two-seats-in-side-by-side configuration accessed by doors, fixed tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.[1]
The aircraft is made with an aluminum semi-monocoque structure. Its 8.6 m (28.2 ft) span forward-swept wing has an area of 12.3 m2 (132 sq ft) and mounts flaps. The standard engine used is the 100 hp (75 kW) Rotax 912ULS four-stroke powerplant. The forward-swept wing provides improved visibility to the pilot in turns.[1]
As of January 2018, the design does not appear on the Federal Aviation Administration's list of approved special light-sport aircraft.[2]
The design also did not appear on the manufacturer's website as offered for sale in February 2017.[3]
