Lucky Americans! The new Light Sports Aircraft category is producing all sorts of interesting aircraft such as this Sky-MAXX all-aluminium made by German company Voigt, based in Cologne. The aircraft has so far been certified as an ultralight in Italy, and there appear to be a number of versions available, with different engines and fixed or retractable undercarriage. The 80hp Rotax engine version gives a cruise of 103kt and a range of 500nm. There's talk of a jet version for next year! It's claimed it can takeoff and land in 30 to 50 metres thanks to a high-lift wing design and leading edge slats. Cost is $49,500 for a kit, $100,000 complete.
