The Bagalini Bagaliante (a portmanteau of "Bagalini" and "Glider") is an Italian high-wing, strut-braced, single-seat, pusher configuration, conventional landing gear motor glider that was designed by Marino Bagalini and made available as plans for amateur construction.^[1][2]

Design and development

The Bagaliante is constructed from wood and metal and is of pod-and-boom layout.^[1]

The {{convert|12.2|m|ft|1|abbr=on}} span wing employs a Göttingen 535 airfoil at the wing root, transitioning to an NACA 4412 section at the wingtip. The wing uses a semi-tapered planform, tapering outboard of the mid-span point. The specified engine is a {{convert|19|kW|hp|0|abbr=on}} Rotax 277 two-stroke aircraft engine, mounted aft of the cockpit and driving a pusher propeller mounted above the tail boom. The fixed mainwheels are located beside the fuselage on small sponsons.^[1][3]

Even with the small Rotax 277 fitted, the takeoff and landing distance is {{convert|46|m|ft|1|abbr=on}}^[1]

The estimated time to build the aircraft from the plans is 700 hours.^[1]
