Aircraft program
Kitbuilt low wing single piston light sports aircraft. Also includes Waiex Y-tail, Xenos motor glider, single seater Onex, and NASC Teros UAS variants.
The aircraft as engineered: what it is built from, the systems it flies with, and its configuration — each box a theme.
Technical reference compiled with AI research; a value appears only where two independent research passes and a web fact-check agree. Gaps are deliberate.
