The Escape One was developed from the British Escapade Kid, which was in turn derived from the Flying K Sky Raider, an aircraft which in turn traces its origins to the Denney Kitfox. The Escapade One was designed to comply with the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight rules. It features a strut-braced high-wing, a single-seat enclosed cockpit, fixed conventional landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.[1]
The aircraft fuselage is made from welded steel, while the wing has an aluminum spar and wooden ribs. The aircraft is covered in Oratex UL 600 aircraft fabric. Its 8.94 m (29.3 ft) span wing has an area of 11.5 m2 (124 sq ft). The standard engine available is the German 32 hp (24 kW) Lanitz 3W 342 iB2 TS two-stroke powerplant.[1]
The wing can be folded in two minutes for ground transport on a trailer or for storage.[1]
