The Millennium Master is a low-wing, single-engined, tandem two-seat ultralight aircraft built chiefly of carbon fibre. Designed and built in Italy, it first flew in 2006.
Recognition (WEFT)
| W — Wings | Low-mounted, tapered |
|---|---|
| E — Engines | 1 × piston, nose-mounted |
| F — Fuselage | 7.18 m fuselage |
| T — Tail | Conventional |
WEFT is AircraftIQ's four-point recognition method — how it works.
Spot it by:
- Low-set trapezoidal wing with an extended root glove and Küchemann wing tips
- Tandem two-seat cockpit under a single-piece canopy with the rear seat higher
- Tailplane with marked anhedral and a small ventral fin
It has a tricycle undercarriage whose nosewheel retracts rearwards and main legs retract inwards into the wings. Power is a 100 hp Rotax 912 ULS driving a two-blade variable-pitch propeller.
Specifications
- The Millennium Master has a length of 7.18 m (24 ft).
- It has a wingspan of 7.94 m (26 ft).
- Typical crew: 2.

History
The design stemmed from the earlier wooden Asso X kit aircraft but was entirely transformed into prepreg carbon fibre. The structural design was done by the Department of Aerostructures at the University of Turin. The Master first flew on 27 May 2006 and a second prototype flew in December 2007.
Variants
The company went bankrupt before production started. The design was acquired by Blackshape of Monopoli and developed into the Blackshape Prime, and also into the Pelegrin Tarragon.
Where you'll see it
It appeared in public for the first time at Aero 07 at Friedrichshafen in 2007. Production was planned to begin in October 2007 but never started.
