The Air Creation XP-15 is a trike based on hang gliding. This ultralight concept has with the application of engineering plastics, glassfibers and other light and strong materials grown unto a lightweight aircraft. Air Creation XP is a design of Air Creation from Aubenas in France. Practically it consists out of the XP wing under which a trike is fitted. The trike is powered by a 60hp two cylinder, four stroke HKS-700E Sport aircraft engine. The obvious strange registered Air Creation XP-15 AP-MTKJ was photographed at Kobylnica airfield near Poznan, Poland, on 11 September 2000. Obvious strange cause AP- is the prefix of Pakistan; this trike however is registered in Poland. Originally Poland used the prefix "PL" followed by three letters, the first two indicated the local aeroclub they belonged to- i.e. PL-GDC was operated by Gdansk Aeroklub. In 1998, they changed the prefix to be "AP" - Aeroklub Polski. The confusion about the registration is not strange. Worldwide the aviation authorities have troubles with these microlights: as the wings and trikes are exchangeable and sometimes two sets of wings with the same registration are used at the same time on different trikes.
On 11 September 2000, Air Creation XP-15 AP-MTKJ was seen at Poznan - Kolbylnica aerodrome (EPPK).
