The '''Raj Hamsa Voyager''' is an Indian [[ultralight trike]], designed and produced by [[Raj Hamsa Ultralights]] since the 1990s. The aircraft is supplied as a complete ready-to-fly-aircraft.<ref name="WDLA11">Bayerl, Robby; Martin Berkemeier; et al: ''World Directory of Leisure Aviation 2011-12'', page 224. WDLA UK, Lancaster UK, 2011. ISSN 1368-485X</ref>

==Design and development==
The Voyager was designed as a cross country derivative of the [[Raj Hamsa Clipper]] [[Trainer (aircraft)|trainer]] and complies with the [[Fédération Aéronautique Internationale]] [[microlight]] category, including the category's maximum gross weight of {{convert|450|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}}. The aircraft has a maximum gross weight of {{convert|360|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}}. It features a [[Flying wires|cable-braced]] [[hang glider]]-style [[high-wing]], weight-shift controls, a two-seats-in-[[tandem]] open cockpit without a [[cockpit fairing]], [[tricycle landing gear]] with optional [[wheel pants]] and a single engine in [[pusher configuration]].<ref name="WDLA11" />

The aircraft is made from bolted-together [[aluminum]] tubing, with its double surface Raj Hamsa-made wing covered in [[Dacron]] sailcloth. Its {{convert|10.1|m|ft|1|abbr=on}} span wing is supported by a single tube-type aerodynamically faired [[kingpost]] and uses an "A" frame weight-shift control bar. The wing is of a smaller area and faster design than the Clipper's wing and is mounted lower on a shorter mast. The [[landing gear]] has hydraulic suspension and large diameter wheels, to permit rough field operations. The powerplant is a twin cylinder, air-cooled, [[two-stroke]], [[dual-ignition]] {{convert|50|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} [[Rotax 503]] engine or the four cylinder, air-cooled, [[four-stroke]], dual-ignition {{convert|85|hp|kW|0|abbr=on}} [[Jabiru 2200]] engine.<ref name="WDLA11" /><ref name="Specs">{{cite web|url = http://www.x-air.in/html/phgccountry.htm|title = Two-Seater Powered Hang Glider, Type "Voyager"|accessdate = 24 September 2013|last = [[Raj Hamsa Ultralights]]|date = n.d.}}</ref>

The aircraft has an empty weight of {{convert|160|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}} and a gross weight of {{convert|360|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}}, giving a useful load of {{convert|200|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}}. With full fuel of {{convert|70|L}} the payload is {{convert|150|kg|lb|0|abbr=on}}.<ref name="WDLA11" />
