Welcome to X-Air LSA

X-Air History
X-Air founder and designer, Joel Koechlin, has been in the aircraft manufacturing business for nearly 30 years from hang gliders to microlight, three axis aircraft.

About the Aircraft
Fitting in to a Light Sport Aircraft can be a challenge these days. The X-Air LS boasts a generously wide 43 inch cabin.
The contoured bucket seats are comfortable and natural feeling. To facilitate the long legged pilot community the X-Air measures 39 inches from the back of the seat to the rudder pedals, with the seat in the full aft position. Important to every pilot is head room and the LS provides excellent headroom from seat bottom to ceiling of 37.5 inches!
The LS comes with the a com radio, engine monitor and basic flight instrumentation. Optional equipment includes the Garmin GTX 327 transponder, Garmin 495/496, copilot brakes along with other future options. The X-Air LS is a low cost, well-equipped, entry-level aircraft with excellent training qualities, i.e. great handling characteristics. With the docile nature of the aircraft and very simple operating parameters, equally impressive is the entry-level price, a bargain in the LSA market.
