The Icon A5
Manufactured by Icon Aircraft in the USA the Icon A5 aircraft is a unique luxury 2-seater amphibious sports airplane that combines cutting edge design features, construction materials and dynamic looks.
Icon Aircraft, founded by Kirk Hawkins, an engineer and former US Air Force F-16 fighter pilot, hope to revolutionise leisure flying with thisstunning aircraft.
The A5 features a high-strength, lightweight carbon fibre airframe and is powered by a reliable, 100-hp Rotax 912 ULS engine that runs on both automobile and aviation petrol at an estimated top speed of 120 mph. With its 20-gallon tank, a very impressive range of 345 miles is achieved.
The two-seat sport plane features an amphibious design with retractable landing gear for flying off both land and water, plus several patent-pending technologies highlighted by folding wings that allow the plane to be easily stored and towed on the road with a trailer.
Other unique features of this aircraft are the two seat luxury cockpit with its dashboard and instrument styling that is more akin to a sports car in design, a propeller guard and built in roof mounted parachute that will allow the aircraft to descend safely in the event of complete system failure.
Early production models have proven to be very successful and significant pre-orders have been placed with the factory so the future of this unique aircraft looks to be secure.
One of the hottest new aircraft in general aviation is now an outstanding ParkZone replica. The ICON A5 was designed in cooperation with ICON Aircraft for looks and flight characteristics to match the full-scale flyer. Along with a near-perfect scale outline and realistic trim scheme, it features a special hull design that makes water takeoffsand landings remarkably easy to master. Add the optional light set (sold separately) and you will really have a one-of-a-kind parkflyer that will grab attention wherever it flies.
