Ion Aircraft
Filed under: Wings

A new light sport aircraft prototype has been unveiled. The Ion aircraft has a twin tail-boom and tandem seating. It hasn't been flown yet. AV Web reports that the design is almost set to go but that they have had trouble getting the canopy to work out. Thus far the aircraft has flown only in computer simulation, but people are already eager to plunk down cash. They hope to test the prototype next year and create a kit which could go on the market in 2008.
