It is the world's first full carbon/steel hybrid truss construction aerobatic aircraft,[2] using a unique construction process.[3] It is very light and has a low stall speed of 49 knots.[4] It can handle forces up to +/-10g. It is a single-seater aircraft, powered by a Lycoming IO-580.
It was developed with a grant from the Hungarian government.[5][6][7] Knowledge gained from developing the GenPro was later used to develop a prototype hydrogen-powered rotorcraft.[8]
