The Atlantis is a two-seat side-by side low wing aircraft with conventional landing gear. The fuselage is constructed of welded steel tubing. Fuel tanks are located in the wings, with a central header tank. The aircraft uses two control sticks for each pilot and a pull-up flap handle between the seats. The seats recline to a 35 degree angle.
