----------------------

The S\-11 was conceived as a unique single seat sport aircraft, based on the lifting body concept pioneered by [NASA](/wiki/NASA "NASA") in the 1960s. The aircraft design derives 80% of its lift from the aircraft [fuselage](/wiki/Fuselage "Fuselage") and associated [strakes](/wiki/Strake_%28aviation%29 "Strake (aviation)") and only 20% from its straight wings.

The Pursuit is a straked, low wing single or dual seat aircraft with tricycle landing gear and dual rudders. It is made from a welded steel fuselage with aluminum ribs and a composite shell. The prototype's engine was a [Rotax 912UL](/wiki/Rotax_912UL "Rotax 912UL") of , with the [Rotax 582](/wiki/Rotax_582 "Rotax 582") of  intended to be offered as an option.
