The '''Pegasus EDA 100 Flamingo''' is a [[Slovenia]]n [[ultralight aircraft]], designed and under development by [[Pegasus d.o.o.]] of [[Branik]]. The Flamingo was introduced to the public at the Aero show held in [[Friedrichshafen]] in 2010. The aircraft will be supplied as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft and is expected to be distributed by [[Fly Synthesis]] in Europe.<ref name="WDLA11">Bayerl, Robby; Martin Berkemeier; et al: ''World Directory of Leisure Aviation 2011-12'', page 68. WDLA UK, Lancaster UK, 2011. ISSN 1368-485X</ref>

==Design and development==
The Flamingo was designed to comply with the [[Fédération Aéronautique Internationale]] microlight rules and intended as both a touring aircraft for private ownership and a [[Trainer (aircraft)|trainer]] for flying school use. It features a cantilever [[low-wing]], a two-seats-in-[[side-by-side configuration]] enclosed cockpit under a [[bubble canopy]], fixed or optionally retractable [[tricycle landing gear]] and a single engine in [[tractor configuration]].<ref name="WDLA11" />

The aircraft is made from composites. Its {{convert|8.7|m|ft|1|abbr=on}} span wing has an area of {{convert|10.53|m2|sqft|abbr=on}} and mounts [[Flap (aircraft)|flaps]]. The standard engine available will be the {{convert|100|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} [[Rotax 912ULS]] [[four-stroke]] powerplant, which is expected to give a cruise of {{convert|260|km/h|mph|0|abbr=on}} for the fixed gear version and {{convert|310|km/h|mph|0|abbr=on}} for the retractable version.<ref name="WDLA11" />
