The aircraft was designed to comply with the US light-sport aircraft rules. It features a cantilever low-wing, a two-seats-in-tandem enclosed cockpit under a bubble canopy, fixed tricycle landing gear and a single engine in tractor configuration.[1][2]

The MS One is made from composites. Its 30 ft (9.1 m) span wing has an area of 125 sq ft (11.6 m2) and flaps. The standard engine available is the 120 hp (89 kW) Jabiru 3300 four-stroke powerplant, although engines of up to 250 hp (186 kW) can be fitted. The airframe was engineered for +/-10g.[1][2]

The original intention was to have the design as an accepted LSA in 2010, but plans were delayed by the economic situation.[2] As of February 2017, the design does not appear on the Federal Aviation Administration's list of approved special light-sport aircraft.[3]

gollark: Do drones also know their velocity?
gollark: You could probably navigate by dead reckoning if you have it integrate the acceleration really fast.
gollark: You could make the GPS stations double as message relay things so the drones are always in contact.
gollark: Or maybe just wireless cards and lots of GPS stuff, since you want a wireless card anyway.
gollark: Anyway, if you're doing drone delivery, I'd have navigation upgrades and a lot of waypoints.
