Porto Aviation Risen 915
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.
An engine version of the Porto Aviation Risen 912iS: aircraft are placed here by the engine on their FAA record.
The Risen 915 is Porto Aviation's Superveloce - Alberto Porto's Italian carbon-fibre two-seat retractable with the wing shortened to 26.9 ft and a 141 hp turbocharged Rotax 915iS, at about 772 lb empty and 1,378 lb gross with 31.7 gallons. The factory's 2022 sheet quotes about 197 knots true at 75 % power at 9,000 ft on 6.9 gallons an hour and about 837 nm at 75 % power on standard tanks with a 30-minute reserve, a 1,968 fpm climb, a 42-knot flapped stall and a 205-knot Vne.
The Superveloce is the Risen for speed rather than range: the shorter wing and the 915 buy 20-plus knots over the 912iS and cost a higher stall, a lower 20:1 glide and about 600 lb of useful load, of which 31.7 gallons of fuel takes 190. In the United States it is an amateur-built aeroplane finished by its owner with the factory's help, so the builder's work, the aircraft's own weight-and-balance (the factory's empty weight is a 'from' figure) and the turbocharged Rotax's logbook - a FADEC engine with strict fuel, cooling and rubber-replacement requirements - are the record, and the FAA engine entry is what separates a 915 from the 916 that replaced it in production. Retractable gear and a constant-speed propeller make it complex for endorsement purposes; Vne is an indicated limit low down and a true-airspeed limit above 13,600 ft, which matters in an aeroplane that cruises near 200 knots. The composite structure is inspected for finish damage rather than corrosion, and support is the factory in Lecco and a small US owner group. No current asking price was found.

- 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.
