German based aircraft manufacturer, REMOS AG, received the German Ultralight Certification for the GXiS during AERO in Friedrichshafen. Michael Baetz (Deutscher Aero Club) presented the Type Certificate Data Sheet to REMOS engineers Daniel Browne, Christian Majunke and Paul Foltz.

The GXiS is the youngest member of the REMOS family. It was first shown to the public during AERO 2016. Only a few weeks later, in May, 2016, the maiden flight of this composite high-wing aircraft took place. This event was followed by a successful flight testing program. On its way to certification only a few minor changes were made. For instance, the exhaust system was modified and the constant speed propeller was replaced by a ground adjustable propeller by Duc Helices.

The GXiS is powered by the Rotax 912 iS Sport (74 kW/100 hp) with electronic fuel injection. Thanks to SMARTstart, a system developed by REMOS, it takes just one push of a button to start-up the engine. Almost all preflight checks are done automatically.

Recently REMOS delivered the first serial production GXiS to a customer in Southern Germany. Certification as a European LSA is also on a fast track.
