Porto Aviation Risen 912iS
These figures describe a typical build. Each aircraft of this design was built by its owner, and the one you are looking at may differ.
These figures describe the Rotax 912 version. Aircraft whose FAA record lists another engine have their own page: Porto Aviation Risen 915, Porto Aviation Risen 916.
The Risen is Alberto Porto's Italian carbon-fibre two-seater, launched at the end of 2017 by Porto Aviation Group of Lecco: a 29.5 ft wing, a 48-inch cabin under a motorised canopy, retractable or fixed tricycle gear and a Rotax 912iS, 728 lb empty and 1,323 lb gross, quoted at about 160 knots at 75 % power and about 860 nm at 75 % power on standard tanks with a 30-minute reserve; the Risen SV with the 160 hp 916iS and a shorter wing cruises at 225 knots and holds its class speed record.
The Risen is bought for efficiency numbers no other two-seater matches - a 23:1 glide ratio, about 860 nm at 75 % power on 26 gallons with a 30-minute reserve - and the buyer should separate the maximum-range figures the data sheet leads with from how the aircraft is actually flown, which is 160-plus knots on four to seven gallons an hour. In the United States it is an amateur-built kit aeroplane, so the builder's work, the factory's build-assist involvement and the aircraft's own weight-and-balance are the record, and the SV is a different machine from the 912 version: 60 more horsepower, a shorter wing, a higher stall and Vne figures that run into true-airspeed limits at altitude. Retractable gear and a constant-speed propeller make it complex for endorsement purposes, the composite structure needs inspection for finish damage rather than corrosion, and the fleet is small and new, so support is through the factory in Italy and a handful of US builders.

- Each of the five categories places the model within its peer class, from 0 (the worst of the class) to 10 (the best): a position among comparable models, not a grade. The overall score is the sum of the categories shown that are scored, out of 10 for each (50 when all five are); it is given only when at least 4 of the five are scored, and it can be set against another model's only when both are in the same peer class and scored on the same categories. When accident record and severity cannot be scored because the model has too few records, the other three give a partial score out of 30, labelled as such; it is never set against a full score.
