All I want for Christmas - ICON A5
I was searching for aviation icons for a possible Blue Sky Logo - when I came across a Website for the ICON Aircraft Company. WOW!
It's considered a Light Sport Aircraft - and it can takeoff/land on either water or a regular runway. And in only 750 ft! 20 gallons auto or av gas, 105kts, 300nm range. 100 hp Rotax 912 ULS engine. Glass LCD Display. Can carry 430 to 530 lbs depending on options, plus 60# of baggage. It's wings also fold up for transport.
It looks like a jetski with wings. Two seater. Sleek.
All this for only $139,000
What I'm not sure on is with Retractable Landing Gear - can that really be considered Light Sport Aircraft? Wouldn't that be Complex? Or is this a new class, Light Sport Complex Aircraft?
